DIAGNOdent: Laser Cavity Detection

January 7, 2013

Cavities are one of the most prevalent dental health conditions. No matter how well we brush and floss, they can still occur. The best treatment for cavities is early treatment. At Grand Dental El Reno, we use DIAGNOdent technology to help detect cavities in their infancy.

DIAGNOdent is a small, portable device that lets us detect cavities early, before any other detection method can catch them. This is a tremendous benefit because the earlier a cavity is found, the smaller it is and the easier it is to fill.

Here’s how it works. First, the DIAGNOdent laser will scan your teeth, using laser reflection to find imperfections. If there’s anything there, DIAGNOdent will alert us with an audible signal. Then, it will generate a numerical readout to give us an indication of the size of the cavity.

This tool is a great asset in our ongoing quest to provide our patients with the best dental care possible. We can’t wait to use it on your teeth!
