Diagnodent provides Dr. Gilmor and Dr. Phillips with a revolutionary new method of detecting cavities. Using a simple laser diode, the Diagnodent technology inspects teeth carefully to uncover even the smallest signs of decay. Using a healthy tooth as a comparison, the diagnodent laser is pinpointed at other areas of the mouth which may be prone to decay. When the Diagnodent finds an imperfect mark, the fluorescent light readings alert Dr. Gilmor or Dr. Phillips to the locations of the decay. Because cavities are often difficult to detect until they grow in size, the Diagnodent technology provides a very valuable method of early detection and treatment. Diagnodent requires no X-rays, allowing both Dr. Gilmor and Dr. Phillips to effectively monitor areas prone to decay, allowing for enamel preservation. Your dental examination is quicker and more accurate thanks to Diagnodent technology.
