State of the Art Diagnostics
Digital X-Rays
The team at Future of Dentistry loves staying abreast of technology and current dental techniques in order to give you and your family amazing smiles!
We are proud to offer digital x-ray technology, a major improvement in dental imaging. This technique allows for much less exposure to x-ray radiation. It is also reusable and environmentally friendly, with no paper waste, no lead film inserts, and no chemicals.
Panoramic X-Rays
We also use digital panoramic x-rays, as well as state-of-the-art Cone Beam Computer Tomography 3D Scan (CBCT) when it is imperative to evaluate a combination of dental elements. With these scanning x-rays, we gain detailed, 3-dimensional views of your entire mouth and surrounding structures.
Most importantly, a broad view of your jaw, sinus, nasal area, and temporomandibular (jaw) joint are exposed in this thorough digital x-ray. This helps us detect impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, tumors, cysts, and missing teeth. It is also a crucial tool in dental implant case planning and design.
Benefits Of Digital X-Rays
- High-definition digital x-rays enable us to see in the depths of your teeth and bones with extremely high clarity. These minute details are invisible to the naked eye.
- Using digital x-rays, we can catch small dental problems such as initial decay before they progress.
- Best of all, you can view your digital x-rays with us, because they are visible on the computer screen!

Laser Cavity Detection
The detection of cavities (tooth decay) can be an inexact and often subjective science. To accurately detect cavities in the earliest stages, the dentists at Future of Dentistry use the DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection – an amazing breakthrough in cavity detection.
Recently FDA-approved and with more than 90 percent accuracy, the DIAGNOdent fluorescent laser technology enables our dentists to instantly and accurately find decay, often without the need for added X-rays.
Laser-assisted Cavity Detection
Laser-assisted cavity detection is a crucial aid for a more thorough oral exam for you and your family. With this advanced technology, we can locate cavities and decay underneath the tooth’s surface.
The modern laser technology penetrates approximately 2 millimeters inside the tooth’s surface, where decay initially breeds. Some X-rays cannot even discover cavities or decay at their early stages with this much precision!
Benefits of DIAGNOdent Technology
- The most attractive feature for patients is that DIAGNOdent does not require jabbing a pick into the tooth.
- Detecting decay in its early phases, we can more accurately assess and plan the treatment needed to clean the decay and preserve a greater amount of your tooth.
- Early cavities can be found, cleaned, and sealed before requiring fillings.
- We recommend scheduling an appointment so we can accurately assess your oral health using DIAGNOdent technology! Laser cavity detection is key for early detection.
