Intra-Oral Camera
Dr. Nagelberg knows that a picture is
worth a thousand words – especially in dentistry! He uses small
cameras right inside your mouth to take highly magnified digital
photos of your teeth. These photos can be displayed on a computer
screen for both patient and doctor, and are invaluable in diagnosing
and recording dental problems. Intra-oral photos also enables
patients to view what the dentist sees when their teeth are being
evaluated by the dentist.
Laser Cavity Detector (Diagnodent)
Locating hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure (from
the inside out) is a major goal. Finding cavities beneath the
hard surfaces is challenging because the disease process can
start through microscopic defects in the hard surface can spread
into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface.
Recently FDA approved, this
amazing laser cavity finder instantly and accurately finds
cavities in areas x-rays rarely see and the dental pick misses
76% of the time.
Diagnodent is a major breakthrough that allows us to monitor the
areas below the hard surfaces. We can now locate hidden decay, and
with treatment stop the spread of the disease before it destroys the
tooth from within.
