We are pleased to announce that digital cavity detection is now a reality through our Itero imaging system.  The Itero imaging system is a slender digital camera that uses Near-Infrared Imaging (NIRI) technology to aid in cavity detection between teeth and on the chewing surfaces in real time. The system captures 3D geometry and color of dental structures using a non-contact, focus detection technique.  We use this system in combination with digital 2D radiographs, CBCT 3D radiographs, and a clinical examination by one of our experienced dentists.  This ensures that we have all the information necessary to make a proper conservative diagnosis.  We are able to distinguish between stains and cavities and detect problems when they are in an early stage so that treatment is more conservative which minimizes costs for you.
