Do You Have Invisable Decay?

Cavities Can Be Hiding.

Cavities can start on the chewing surfaces in microscopic defects of the tooth. These cavities are not felt with dental instruments. Once they progress through the hard tissue or enamel,they can grow very quickly.
The goal of preventative dentistry is to find these weaknesses while they are still microscopic, to maintain as much tooth structure as possible.

New technology in the form of a laser, called Diagnodent, does this. Suwanee Dental Care routinely uses this new technology on patients. The laser scans the teeth searching for microscopic decay. A reading greater then 20 indicates decay.

At Suwanee Dental Care we practice minimally invasive dentistry with the use of Diagnodent.
