sedona dental xrayIt’s time X-rays went digital, and Sedona dentist Dr. Daniels utilizes this innovative new technology. Digital Dental X-rays yield larger images than traditional X-rays, and these images can be enhanced, manipulated, easily archived along with your dental records, or e-mailed to your insurance company. They are obtained using small sensors no more gripping film between your teeth. Digital X-rays make the process easier for patients and more productive for the dentist.

We invite our patients to discuss their desires with us. With the aid of a computer, an image of your new smile will be created based on your desires and the shape of your teeth, face, and mouth.

We all know that catching cavities early is best. But did you know that the traditional way of detecting cavities a lot of poking and prodding is not only uncomfortable, but only successful 50 to 75 percent of the time? Fortunately, DIAGNOdent® is a much more accurate and sensitive tool used in detecting even the smallest cavities or the ones that hide along fissure lines or inside the biting surfaces of your teeth.

DIAGNOdent® is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses a simple laser diode to examine teeth for cavities, uncovering decay without invasive techniques or X-rays. DIAGNOdent® is both more comfortable and more precise in detecting cavities compared to earlier techniques. This tool also makes it easy for dentists to monitor suspicious areas in your mouth without repeated X-rays or harm to tissues.

Kavo DIAGNOdent: Detecting the Invisible

sedona-diagnodentThe Diagnodent uses a small laser to help us diagnose decay earlier than ever before. While X-rays can be invaluable in helping us diagnose decay, their use in detecting beginning decay on the chewing surface is limited.

Many teeth have grooves on the chewing surface that gather stain. In the past it was impossible to tell if dark areas on the chewing surface, as shown in these bicuspids, were decay or merely stain that was penetrating deep into the grooves.

With traditional diagnostic techniques, the explorer (that's the thing with the point on it that everyone's afraid of) is too large to fit into the small grooves to give us a tactile sense of whether decay exists or not.

sedona-diagnodentThe laser tip of the Diagnodent allows us to see a digital readout quantifying the amount of decay which may be present.

The value of diagnosing decay early cannot be overestimated! With early detection, treatment can be less invasive and more comfortable than ever before. In most cases, early diagnosis of decay on the chewing surface of a tooth allows us to repair the decay without anesthetic or without drilling!

Digital X-ray

Less radiation/more information

sedona-dental-xrayDigital x-ray not only uses far less radiation than conventional x-rays, it also gives us some major advantages in diagnostic tools. For example, being able to digitally colorize the x-ray allows certain things to be seen by the eye differently and more easily identified. In addition digital x-rays are easily emailed to specialists for instant consultation.
