Diagnodent

Women feeling tooth pain

The future of dental diagnostics has arrived in Berkeley, CA with DIAGNOdent

There is a common myth that dental care is painful, or at least uncomfortable and unpleasant. Here at Transcendentist in Berkeley, CA, we are on a mission to change the way you think about and experience dentistry. This is a place where the ancient melodies of Tibetan bell chimes and the luxury of plush velvet chairs blend seamlessly with the wonders of next generation technology. With our DIAGNOdent system, even the simplest of diagnostic procedures – cavity detection – is transformed to be gentler, faster, and more precise than ever.

About DIAGNOdent caries detection

The standard method of diagnosing a dental cavity is rather primitive. Typically, the dentist will probe the tooth surface with a sharp metal instrument. If the probe can penetrate the surface, it means the enamel is softened by decay. As you might know from experience, that technique is not comfortable, and it can even be painful. Furthermore, it is imprecise and not likely to catch the tiniest cavities.

DIAGNOdent is cavity detection for the modern era, high tech and highly efficient. The metal probe is replaced with a tiny laser, which illuminates compromised tissue. It can detect all types of cavities including proximal caries, fissure caries, and even calculus accumulation or periodontitis.

Benefits of the DIAGNOdent laser

This small, handheld device can easily be used to scan all areas of the mouth, and even the smallest kids’ teeth. It instantly shows diseased and compromised tissue with florescence. The more severe the decay is, the brighter the florescence. By contrast, there will be little to no florescence of healthy enamel. This allows your dentist to quickly and efficiently analyze the condition of tooth enamel, and correct decay in its earliest stages before significant damage occurs. The benefits include:

  • Appropriate for adults and children
  • Painless, non-contact cavity detection
  • Detects even very small cavities, enabling early and effective treatment

Experience a gentler and more efficient dental checkupIf the term “dental exam” brings to mind images of a dentist poking and prodding at your teeth with metal tools, then it’s time for a different kind of dentist. It’s time for Transcendentist. Call us at (510) 800-7660 to schedule your appointment.
