Preventative Dentistry with Laser Scanners
The Laser Scanner Finds Ultrasmall Cavities Years Earlier
Have you ever had a dentist discover a cavity and insert a huge filling, and wondered why the filling is so immense if the cavity wasn't there just six months before? The cavity was there six months before – it just wasn't large enough to be detected on X-rays, and it wasn't visible to the dentist yet. The laser scanner reveals cavities years earlier, when the tiny cavity can be removed and repaired with a small, unnoticeable, bonded filling. Sometimes patients speak of tooth sensitivity, or mild to severe pain, yet X-rays and examination cannot easily locate the source. The laser scanner can identify previously undetected decay and, once revealed, allow us to remove the discomfort and leave you with a healthy smile.
