Early Detection with Advanced Laser Technology
At Gulf Coast Dental Care, our dentists in Gulfport, Mississippi, are committed to detecting dental issues before they become major problems. DIAGNOdent is a laser-based diagnostic tool that helps us identify even the smallest areas of decay. By using this modern technology, we can protect your natural teeth and maintain your oral health with greater precision.
DIAGNOdent works by scanning the teeth with a harmless laser, detecting variations in tooth density caused by early-stage cavities. It is especially useful in hard-to-see areas like the pits and grooves of molars, where traditional tools may miss early signs of decay.
Advantages of DIAGNOdent
Patients and providers both benefit from laser cavity detection, including:
- Increased accuracy in detecting hidden cavities
- Non-invasive and pain-free scanning
- Earlier diagnosis for less invasive treatment
- No exposure to radiation
- Better monitoring of high-risk areas over time
This laser tool allows our dentists to take a proactive approach to oral health. By spotting decay before it becomes visible on X-rays or causes discomfort, we can offer more conservative and effective treatment options.
