Laser Cavity Detection
What is laser cavity detection?
We use a high-tech portable laser unit which helps us detect cavities without x-rays or other alternative methods.
Why do we use this method?
No other method � be it visual, probe-based, or X-ray based � has proven as precise or reliable in the detection of
cavities, even when there appears to be no visible cavity. It has a 90% success rate in detecting cavities.
What are the benefits?
- Pain-free
- Less anesthetics
- No exposure to radiation
- No enamel damage caused by sharp probes
- Psychological benefits for children and phobic patients
- Early cavity detection preventing greater decay of the tooth
- Reduces the need for major treatments such as root canal, bridges, crowns, etc
