The future is now! With todays advances in technology, dentistry has become less invasive!
We have an instument today, The DIAGNODENT, that can read tooth densities or better said, discover lack of tooth density.
Research has finally given us a tool that find the areas of decay that are so small they cannot be noted with a dental explorer.
But using our micro-abrasion system of minature diamonds, we can painlessly uncover the decay (usually with having any shots of anesthesia) and bond a white composite filling in the small defect. We have known for years small fillings last longer than big and deeper fillings. Also we have preserved more of your natural tooth by preventing the decay from getting larger and wasting more of your tooth structure.
It really is the 'WIN-WIN' situation for conservative dentistry: You keep more tooth and fillings last longer!
