Intra-Oral Camera
Anderson knows that a picture is worth a thousand words especially in
dentistry! Dr. Anderson 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.
Digital X-rays
Digital radiography is the latest way to take and evaluate x-rays. With digital
x-rays, less radiation is needed to produce high-quality images. These images
can then be evaluated by Dr. Anderson on a large flat-screen monitor. This allows for
easier detection of any problems. With such a large image, it is also easier for
patients to see and understand what is happening with their teeth.

interactive method helps you envision your beautiful new smile.
Laser Cavity Detector - Diagnodent
The Diagnodent is an FDA-approved diagnostic laser that is used primarily
to locate decay below the chewing surfaces of back teeth in deep grooves and
pits. These areas can have decay that is virtually impossible to detect with
routine dental instruments.
The Diagnodent's laser will detect decay-producing bacteria and give a digital
readout to guide the dentist to take the appropriate action: no treatment, or
need for anesthetic. We use a specialized laser to detect cavities in the
pits and grooves of teeth long before they could be found with traditional
techniques. With this state-of-the-art instrument, called
DIAGNODENT, we are able to keep teeth healthy and natural with early
intervention.
