We can't cure what we can't see!
Locating hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure
(from the inside out) is a major goal for modern dentistry.
The widespread use of fluoride supplements in dental materials,
toothpastes and drinking water has made tooth surfaces harder
and more resistant to decay. However, diagnosing cavities
beneath hard surfaces is more challenging because the disease
process can start through microscopic defects in the hard
surface enamel and can readily spread into the softer tooth
structure beneath the surface.
| X-rays and probing with an explorer are limited in detecting
sub-surface decay, particularly when the cavity is in its early stages.
Fortunately, the new DIAGNOdent is a major breakthrough that allows the
dentist to monitor the areas below the hard surfaces. The DIAGNOdent
allows our dentists to locate hidden decay, and with treatment, stop the
spread of disease before it destroys the tooth from within. |

This unique instrument provides instant feedback
on the health
of the tooth. A pen-link prove simply glides over tooth surfaces
constantly checking the health of the tooth. A number scale
and an alarm signals the operator when there are signs of hidden
decay. This new technology is completely safe and pain-free. |
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
We encourage regular dental check-ups, cleanings and home care.
Early detection of problems minimize the expenses related to major
tooth repair. New technologies take us a giant step forward to helping
you achieve the goal of minimally invasive dentistry.
