MicroDentistry is the philosophy and practice of finding and treating decay as early as possible, of removing as little tooth structure as possible and of making the smallest possible restorations.
Microdentistry utilises new technologies such as the Diagnodent Dental Laser to detect decay at its very earliest stage. Allowing decay to be identified five to ten years earlier than other diagnosis methods; the Diagnodent Dental Laser provides outstanding benefits to patients. Early detection prevents the further spread of decay and allows minimally invasive dental treatment methods to be used.
Air-abrasion is a minimally invasive treatment method which can remove the early stages of decay. Using a gentle spray of air and powder mix, controlled by the dentist, the procedure is virtually painless. In most cases a needle and drill are not required, making this treatment perfect for children. Since air abrasion is achieved by directing a thin stream of abrasive powder at the area of tooth decay, your dentist removes only minimal sections of tooth - only the decayed area. Allowing the cavity to be filled immediately, Microdentistry means the treatment required is less invasive and drastic.
Microdentistry is the way of the future.
