Dental Laser Scanner

Finding Cavities with the Laser Scanner

Perhaps you have always had regular check-ups at six-month intervals as a preventive measure to keep your teeth cavity free. During one of those appointments, you were quite surprised when the dentist told you had a large cavity in a tooth. You wondered how a large cavity appeared in such a short amount of time.

The cavity was there six months earlier, it just wasn't detected via X-rays or other means. We use the Laser Scanner at our practice, which lets us identify the very beginning of a cavity. This results in accurate diagnosing for proper treatment. We can prevent cavities from growing to a painful state and repair them with a small filling to keep more tooth structure intact.
