Cavity Detecting
|
Our practice uses digital x-rays, because they have many benefits over film x-rays. Digital x-ray images can be simpler to make, provide enhanced pictures, and can save time for the dental team. They also make it easier for us to show these images to you, our patient.

Laser scanning for cavities |
It is our goal to help you maintain and improve your oral health. To achieve this goal, the dental care that you and your family receive in our office always includes state-of-the-art equipment. Among the newest technologies is a small laser instrument called the DIAGNOdent, which scans your teeth with harmless laser light searching for hidden decay.

Periodontal Exam |
During your dental checkup, we will examine your gums. This is called a periodontal examination. A periodontal probe is gently used to measure the depth of the sulcus surrounding each tooth. The depth of the healthy sulcus is usually three millimeters or less. The periodontal probe can indicate whether you have developed any pockets and the depth of those pockets. Learn More.
