Dr. Madavi chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Madavi utilizes Digital X-Ray Technologies within the office. With digital X-Rays, radiation exposure is significantly reduced when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital X-Rays can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
The advantages of digital X-Ray enables us to not only store patient images, but also enables us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies.
In order to maintain healthy and attractive teeth, the earliest possible caries detection is essential. DIAGNOdent aids in detection of caries. Even very small lesions are detected at the earliest stage. DIAGNOdent uses laser technology to detect and quantify hidden or sub-surface caries by measuring laser fluorescence within the tooth structure. DIAGNOdent is an extremely accurate, reliable and non-invasive method to aid in caries detection.
Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are more comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.
Dr. Madavi utilizes intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera. In some cases, an intraoral camera is just a few millimeters long. An intraoral camera allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you!
