LASER DIAGNOSTICS
Although we still need x-rays to look between your teeth, a new technology enables us to scan the tops of your teeth with a cavity finding laser. Instead of using the traditional dental explorer (the pic), we simply shine the laser over the top of your tooth and like a Geiger Counter, the laser reacts when decay is present. The laser is much more accurate then previous techniques and allows us to detect decay that may have been missed with other diagnostic methods. By catching the decay early, we are able to treat the cavity while it is still minimal with a conservative restoration.
