Cavity Detection in Houston, TX

Overview

Our Cosmetic Dentists at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry know the importance in finding even the smallest cavity in your smile. We can help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. All our locations have the DIAGNOdent and CariVu laser caries detection technologies that we use during your dental examinations and cleanings. We have added laser cavity detection in addition to X-rays, visual examinations, and more to provide each patient with the best care possible. Dr. Lewis and his team will provide you with a thorough examination your gums, teeth, jaw, and bones to check for signs of decay. If there is a cavity, we can then come up with a plan to treat. Dental examinations with the DIAGNOdent and CariVu technologies help our patients be proactive with their oral health.

Treatment

After your teeth cleaning, your registered dental hygienist will take you to our dental imaging room. Your teeth will be gently scanned with the DIAGNOdent or CariVu laser cavity detection technology. The process is very quick, and you will experience no pain from this screening as it is just light. Once the imaging is complete, you will discuss the results with your dentist and proceed to treatment if cavities are found.

Dr. Guy Lewis and his entire team at Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry are very professional, responsive, and caring people.  From start to finish of a full-mouth restoration, I was impressed with how Dr. Lewis listened to the vision I had for the tooth shape and shade that I wanted.  Dr. Lewis, Christine, Rachel, Ana, and the entire team made it happen; my teeth turned out beautifully!  The office was managed very smoothly with regard to communication among the staff; very impressive.  Cristine was always responsive via text if I had any questions, as I was a fly-in patient from out of state.  They checked on me, via text, after the dental work when I returned to the hotel, and I am grateful for the for the genuine care they showed to me.  The entire team is amazing and I am so happy to smile with my bright and beaming new teeth!

Do I Still Need X-Rays?

Yes. Our laser cavity detection technology supplementation to your dentist's traditional visual examination and X-rays. We can find more out about the surface area (where you bite and/or chew) with the cavity detection technology. It is an excellent additional tool in your dentist's diagnostic tool belt. You may also have other dental work that may interfere or hide cavities that the laser may not pick up. 

How Often?

Your dentist will recommend how many times a year you will need to be seen for excellent preventative care. Most patients only need a cavity detection session during their dental examinations or if there is something wrong. Your dentist will make that call during your dental examination appointment.

What If I Am High Risk?

Some of our patients are more at risk for cavities than others. You may need to see a dentist more than other patients. We may recommend a dental examination with laser cavity detection every 3 – 4 months if you are prone to cavities or plaque build-up, pregnant, have gum disease, diagnosed with diabetes, have a weakened immune system, or chew or smoke tobacco.
