One of the trends in today’s dentistry is the shift toward microdentistry-the practice of removing the least amount of tooth structure necessary to eliminate decay and then replacing it as conservatively,comfortably and esthetically as possible. The key to minimally invasive microdentistry is prevention and early accurate cavity diagnosis followed by microinvasive treatment and palcement of biominetic restorations(restorations using materials that most closely mimic natural tooth structure).

In our office, accurate diagnosis is achieved using loupes with magnification and illumination. We also use laser decay diagnosis(the Diagnodent).

Once the decay is discovered, we use a Waterlase laser to remove the decay. Using hydrokinetic energy, the Waterlase safely and easily eliminates the cavity. In most cases no anesthesia(shot) is necessary.
