Save Money On Dental Bills
In our climate of an economic recession where everyone is mindful of cutting expenses dental patients find themselves looking even more carefully at getting proper treatment without spending more cash than is necessary. One of the tools in meeting this challenge is employed by Dr. Warren L. Spencer a Central Florida Dentist specializing in family and cosmetic dentistry. Finding hidden caries before they become a larger and more costly problem can be difficult without the right equipment. A suspicious-looking tooth sometimes presents a treatment dilemma for dentists. Should the tooth be opened up? What if no caries is found? Should the tooth just be watched, or does that give caries more time to destroy the tooth's surface? Diagnodent is the solution used at the Altamonte Springs/ Longwood office Dr. Warren L. Spencer.
Dr. Spencer explains that due to fluoridation, caries can go "underground". While helping to improve the oral health of many Americans, fluoridation has resulted in harder tooth enamel. Incipient caries lesions that once began on the tooth's surface have now migrated below the surface.
Dr. Spencer has found that to get the most economical treatment possible Dental decisions require a higher degree of certainty. The Diagnodent laser caries detection aid removes the doubt from treatment decisions regarding hidden caries ore questionable stained grooves. The device's ability to see into occlusal pits and fissures enables dentists to treat sub-surface caries lesions with confidence.
Dr. Spencer says, Diagnodent technology permits use of minimally invasive treatments without unnecessary preparation. In our Central Florida office we have found that it allows the quantification of caries activity over time with a precise and reliable measurement. Also the results permit checking, stabilization and documentation of caries.
Doctor Spencers staff has also found this is an ideal device for the hygienist to detect suspicious areas needing further examination. Also the extra surety provided by this technology aids Dr. Spencer in avoiding "exploratory" excavation of suspect teeth.
Dr. Spencer and his staff have found this to be an accurate diagnostic aid. Proven to be over 90% accurate.
It is also an important dental technology for detection of pathological changes that are undiagnosed by conventional examination methods (e.g. initial lesions, demineralization and changes in the enamel, fissure caries).
Dr. Spencers patients which are mostly from Orlando, Altamonte Springs, Longwood and other Central Florida communities enjoy the side benefit that Diagnodent spares the patient scratching probes and provides a simple, fast and painless examination. It can also supersede the need for x-rays.
All and all this technology is a benefit to the budget conscious dental patient that is looking for a good value and total discount on overall dental treatment.
