Detecting Cavities With DIAGNOdent

Tooth decay is caused by a variety of things; in medical terms, cavities are called caries, which are caused by long-term destructive forces acting on tooth structures such as enamel and the tooth's inner dentin material. With conventional instruments, it is generally not possible to probe drop-shaped fissures. DIAGNOdent has the great advantage of detecting caries in the very early stage by measuring the laser fluroescence within the tooth structure.
 Which means you will get extremely precise results without x-ray exposure.

New Technology in Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers today and has one of the lowest survival rates. The number of oral cancer cases has been increasing every year for the past five years. One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United States. The primary cause of oral cancer related deaths is late detection. Although tobacco and alcohol use are associated with oral cancer, anyone over the age of 18 is at risk.  Those over the age of 40, especially men, are considered high risk for developing oral cancer.

Teeth Whitening Options

It is recommended that you have a professional examination to determine the health of your teeth and gums prior to beginning a teeth-whitening procedure.

The Use of Digital Radiology-Digital X-Rays

The process for digital radiology is similar to traditional dental X-rays that use film only in the fact that your dentist inserts a sensor into your mouth to capture images of your teeth. Although this sensor resembles the film used for bitewings and other X-rays, the digital sensor is electronic and connected to a computer. Once the X-ray is taken, the image is uploaded to a computer where your dentist can use imaging software to view the images in greater detail.
