SOFT TISSUE LASER:
The Odyssey Diode Soft Tissue Laser is used for a variety of procedures.

This versatile laser can be used to treat gum disease, canker sores, as well as gum lifts and re-contouring for cosmetic makeovers.

Diagnodent CAVITY DETECTOR:
Up until now, it’s been challenging to detect cavities on the chewing surfaces on back teeth. Traditionally, cavities have been found with x-rays and feeling for “soft spots”. Today, with the advent of fluoride, enamel has gotten harder and cavities have become smaller thus, making them extremely difficult to detect. We now have the Diagnodent which utilizes laser technology. Pulses of light are emitted and when a cavity is detected, a fluorescent light of a different wavelength bounces back to a sensor giving an audible signal and a reading. In general, the higher the number the greater the size of the decay. We can now catch cavities early on and treat them when they are small thereby preventing more extensive and expensive treatment. The Diagnodent is an American Dental Association approved instrument due to its level of accuracy.
