Advantages of Early Cavity Detection and Increased Patient Comfort

Dr. Ramos offers two NEW high tech ergonomic devices that speed up quality dental care and make patients more comfortable: DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection and the Isolite Mouthpiece. Both offer unique advantages and are becoming increasingly popular among dental patients. In fact, based on patient feedback, Dr. Ramos says "My patients love that we use these and request them when they come back. The Isolite Mouthpiece is especially helpful for people with small mouths, limited opening ability and anxiety."

Top Patient Advantages to DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection:

  • Very early cavity detection with much more certainty
  • Provides precise and reliable measurements. Proven to be 90% accurate
  • Results in less invasive procedures, less drilling, no unnecessary drilling
  • No x-ray exposure
  • Simple, fast and painless examination

Top Patient Advantages of the Isolite Mouthpiece:

Continuing Care Visits: More Than “Just a Cleaning”

A maintenance or Continuing Care visit is as essential to keeping your health as putting oil in your car is essential to keep driving.

We believe that optimal oral hygiene is essential to prolong the life of your teeth and any dental treatment you have or will have in the future. Our hygienists work together with Dr. Ramos to help you recognize the state of your dental health and help you to discover what best for you.

  • Updating your medical history
