DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection

A revolutionary breakthrough in early diagnosis, the DIAGNOdent uses laser technology to detect tooth decay. At Fountain View Dentistry, we always enjoy utilizing what Dr. Harden has termed "Patient- Friendly Technology," which we define as technology that patients consider an enjoyable benefit to their dental diagnosis and treatment.

Precise Prevention

In the past, the dental hook was accepted as the standard for the detection of tooth decay. Now, with DIAGNOdent, we can diagnose decay objectively, scientifically, and comfortably. The DIAGNOdent laser scans the tooth and transmits the results to a quantified number from 1 to 99. The higher the number, the worse the tooth decay. The DIAGNOdent reinforces its results with an audible tone that increases in pitch as the numbers get higher.

A Comfortable Alternative

This new technology replaces delayed diagnosis of a tooth using an explorer to poke into the tooth, which was a more subjective diagnosis by the dentist. Leading testing facilities rave about the benefits of DIAGNOdent, and patients rave about the level of comfort and accuracy. This diagnostic tool has proven itself as the ideal method of cavity detection for both hygienist and doctor.
