Diagnodent is a safe, painless diagnostic tool that helps us spot cavities not visible to the naked eye or on traditional X-rays. By identifying early signs of decay, we can recommend smaller, less invasive treatments, protecting more of your natural tooth structure and helping you avoid future discomfort.
The handheld Diagnodent device uses a light-based probe to scan the surfaces of your teeth. It delivers real-time feedback using a digital readout and audible signals, helping your dental team pinpoint areas of concern, even in tight or hard-to-see spaces.
We believe prevention is key to lifelong dental health. Incorporating tools like Diagnodent laser technology into regular checkups allows us to give you the most accurate, proactive care possible.
Cavities don’t always cause pain or sensitivity in the early stages. In fact, many patients are surprised to learn they have decay until it becomes more advanced. By using laser technology, we can stay one step ahead, catching decay before it spreads and simplifying your treatment plan.
Early detection leads to:
Smaller and more affordable fillings
Reduced risk of root canals or tooth loss
Shorter appointments and faster healing
Better long-term outcomes for your smile
Laser cavity detection is especially helpful for monitoring children, teens, and patients prone to decay. It also allows for ongoing evaluation of suspicious areas without repeated X-rays.
