Detect Tooth Decay

At Dandelion we can help you detect tooth decay to help prevent possible extractions.

We use a safe fluorescent laser, Diagnodent®, to help detect hidden tooth decay. Diagnodent® can help to expose cavities beneath the surface, invisible to the naked eye.

Diagnodent® can help to:

  • Detect Cavities
  • Prevent Extractions

Our preventive services can help protect your teeth and smile against the common factors of everyday life.

Well-fitted dentures can be important to the comfort and maintenance of your oral health. Are dentures affordable? Are you a good candidate for dentures? We are happy to answer all of your questions!
