So you look in the mirror, and you see what you think are small little brown stains on the tops of your back teeth. Well, with our laser diagnostic device, called the 'Diagnodent,' we can easily distinguish between what are stains, and what may actually be areas of decay UNDER the enamel (outside) layer of your teeth! In this case pictured, the Diagnodent helped us determine that these darker areas on these back teeth WERE actually decayed areas that entered the teeth through the tiny grooves that are on the top of everyone's teeth. We were able to remove these areas and restore the defective areas with tooth colored resin restorations that not only are life-like and very strong, but most importantly VERY conservative because we found these before they became huge holes of decay. We were done with this procedure in 20 minutes! If these teeth would have been sealed before they ended up becoming decayed, and if the client would have been warned of the dangers of sugared soft drinks, these would have never happened. Notice how the teeth are restored back to their original form, with all of the grooves designed into the new restoration. It is our feeling, that the more naturally shaped and shaded the final restoration is, the more ideal the outcome.
