Intra-Oral Camera
Dr. Lines knows that a picture is worth a thousand words –
especially in dentistry! Dr. Lines 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.
