DIAGNOdent Laser Dentistry Inland Empire Dentist Explains:
Posted September 2, 2011 in HomeThe DIAGNOdent dental laser is an extremely useful tool when it comes to the detection of tooth decay. My Inland Empire Biological Cosmetic dental office utilizes this innovative technology to inspect each tooth, ensuring the integrity of the enamel. The laser uncovers tooth decay with accuracy and efficiency by measuring the density of the enamel. From a technical standpoint, the laser compares the wavelength of a healthy enamel baseline to the area of suspicion.
As a biological dentist focused on tooth preservation and patient care, the DIAGNOdent laser allows for conservative treatment of tooth decay. Early detection results in minimal tooth removal during time of treatment. With minimal tooth structure removal, in most cases the area treated will not have to be anesthetized. Thus, patients do not leave our office feeling numb and can go about their day with ease.
