Dr. Paul C. Brooks III, DMD is a Louisville dentist that insists on being proactive when it comes to pain-free ways to improve oral health. The dental professionals at Dr. Brooks' practice offer a wealth of services with quality individualized care, such as preventative dentistry, implants and teeth whitening. One of the latest instruments he has added to his state-of-the-art dental office is the DIAGNOdent. This machine uses a small laser to safely scan your teeth in an effort to find hidden decay.
The device allows Dr. Brooks' patients to avoid the more invasive process of probing with an explorer to detect decay that hides below the surface of teeth. Modern dental products have helped to make tooth surfaces harder and more resistant to decay. However, this positive change also means that finding cavities that form beneath the hard outer surface is more difficult.
To solve this problem, Louisville dentist Dr. Brooks uses a pen-link probe to gently glide over tooth surfaces. The device will instantly provide a number scale alarm to signal that hidden decay exists. This is a crucial instrument for early detection and treatment, which can stop the disease process from spreading into the softer tooth area beneath the surface. The result is happier patients because the hidden decay is treated without needless probing.
The DIAGNOdent is just one of many technological advancements that the Brooks dentistry practice has incorporated into their wide range of products and services. Treating patients that suffer from periodontal disease or gum disease is another non-surgical option that utilizes laser treatment.
Without treatment of gum disease, bacteria can lead to inflammation that destroys the fibers that bridge your teeth to your bone. The resulting space is called a pocket. Bacteria can live in these pockets and cause infections. To correct the problem, Dr. Brooks can use lasers to remove any infected or diseased tissues that are present in the pockets. Additionally, the laser will kill the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease, helping to heal your gums at the same time.
These two instruments are just a sample of the latest technological dental advancements that are intended to make the trip to the Louisville dentist more enjoyable. The pain-free devices are a quick way to diagnose and treat dental problems, which goes a long way toward encouraging patients to return for regular checkups. The DIAGNOdent and laser technology used for periodontal disease are a perfect fit for Dr. Brooks' successful dental practice. He and his staff are committed to providing a variety of quality dentistry procedures that utilize the latest technology, including cosmetic dentistry and root canals. Part of treating patients as they would treat a family member or themselves means using early detection to minimize teeth related expenses and utilizing minimally invasive procedures.
