DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection Technology

With this breakthrough technology, patients can reduce dental costs and improve the longevity of their teeth. The DIAGNOdent is very effective in spotting even the smallest lesions at the earliest stages. The light emitting device is placed on the teeth, which gives your provider a digital readout, which can help analyze if there is the presence of decay. The use of the DIAGNOdent is pain and radiation free, making it safe and suitable for all patients. It works by using a pen like probe which sends a laser beam into the tooth to measure the internal fluorescence. Normal healthy teeth reflect less light than a carious tooth, therefore, the more light that a tooth reflects, the more decay it carries. If required, you will be referred to a dentist for further examination and diagnosis.
