 “I had a severe case of "dental phobia" until I met and was treated by Dr. Harbin. He listened to me, and only recommended what I really needed. I was very comfortable and pleased with the results. And, his work was the best!" - Jenny Chandler, former Tennessee Titans cheerleader

Laser Cavity Finder |
|
The days of waiting until cavities became large and painful and then having to do extensive,
large fillings, crowns, or even root canals are over. Thanks to advanced technology from Kavo, we can now detect cavities earlier
and more predictably. The Kavo Diagnodent uses a low-intensity laser to locate hidden decay and provide your dentist with a digital
reading of the progression of cavities. Due to the increasing amount of flouride in water and food, teeth are stronger than ever, a
great benefit to our patients.
However, this increased strength has changed the look of modern cavities. Where cavities used to form
big craters on the surface of the tooth and then work their way down to the inner portion, the new pattern has reversed.Bacteria now
form pinpoint holes in the tooth, borough down, and then spread deep and wide under a seemingly intact outer shell. This new pattern
has made cavity detection more difficult and made old cavity detection techniques, like a sharp explorer, less reliable. Much like a
metal detector detects metal objects underground, a Kavo Diagnodent has the unique ability to find these “hidden cavities.”
This breakthrough technology has been proven to be virtually 100% accurate in detecting small cavities that our traditional techniques
might miss. This enables your dentist to treat these cavities at their earliest stages, preserving more tooth structure, and making it
easier and quicker for the patient. We can now stop those small cavities from becoming larger ones and save our patient’s time
and money by providing smaller and more conservative treatment options. The Kavo Diagnodent has earned the ADA Seal of Acceptance and
is quickly emerging as the new standard of care. |
