DIAGNOdent
Studies show that 50% of caries go undetected by present diagnostic methods. The new KaVo DIAGNOdent aids in diagnosing "hidden" fissure caries more accurately and confidently.

Most caries occur in the complex anatomy of the occlusal surfaces, making diagnosis with traditional methods difficult, because the outer tooth surface often appears to be intact. The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system. It utilizes laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify deminerilized tooth substances without x-ray exposure. This revolutionary new device is easy to use and turns caries detection into a harmless, measurable, more reproducable and exacting procedure.

The WAND - We know that most children get very nervous at the mere sight of a needle and syringe.  That's why we perform anesthetic injections with a revolutionary system called The WAND. 

The source of discomfort for most injections isn't the needle, it is the flow of anesthetic into your tissue.  The WAND has a computer controlled microprocessor inside that automatically ensures a steady flow rate of anesthetic regardless of tissue density.  This results in a more comfortable injection.  

The WAND is an excellent example of our efforts to bring you the latest dental technology, and to help all of our patients have a pleasant, positive visit to our office.

Micro Air Abrasion Cavity Preparation - a miniature sandblaster.  Air abrasion allows the early detection of decay because it can be employed to minimally open stained grooves; if the stain opens into decay, the decay can be quickly removed and filled. Using air abrasion to conservatively open pits and grooves not only facilitates early identification of carious lesions (cavity or decay), but ultimately may save healthy tooth structure. The new air abrasion cavity preparation systems allow conservative removal of tooth structure. Air abrasion allows ultraconservative tooth removal and leaves the remaining tooth structure sound, chemically clean and very bondable.  It also usually eliminates the need for numbing and/or needles.

DenOptix - The use of a digital x-ray imaging system reduces the amount of radiation exposure to the patient.  The system also has a powerful collection of enhancements tools which can make the digital x-ray more informative than a traditional x-ray.  By elimination the need to use developer, fixer and cleaning solutions, there are no chemical fluids to be disposed of.  This is good for our environment.
