Our team is pleased to utilize DEXIS CariVu™ caries detection technology in Temple, Texas, to identify cavities and cracks with unparalleled precision. CariVu uses near-infrared light to highlight problem areas without the need for radiation, providing a comfortable and safe diagnostic experience. This advanced tool helps our dentist and team detect dental issues at their earliest stages, allowing us to provide timely treatment and protect your oral health.

What is DEXIS CariVu?

DEXIS CariVu is a radiation-free imaging tool that uses near-infrared light to illuminate the internal structure of your teeth. Healthy enamel appears transparent under the light, while cavities, cracks and other areas of concern show as dark spots. This painless, non-invasive technology allows us to detect issues that may be hidden beneath the surface, giving you a clearer picture of your dental health.

Benefits of DEXIS CariVu Caries Detection

  • Radiation-Free: Safe for patients of all ages, including children and those who require frequent monitoring.
  • Comfortable and Non-Invasive: No need for traditional X-rays or bulky imaging equipment.
  • Precise Detection: Identifies early signs of decay and cracks that may not be visible to the naked eye.
  • Real-Time Imaging: Instant results allow you and Dr. Quang Luong to view and discuss findings during your appointment.
  • Improved Preventive Care: Early detection of cavities and fractures helps prevent more complex dental issues.

What to Expect During Your CariVu Appointment

We will gently place the small CariVu device over the affected tooth or area of concern. The near-infrared light will illuminate the enamel, clearly highlighting any areas of decay or damage. The process is quick and comfortable, making it easy to monitor your dental health without the need for traditional imaging techniques. If any issues are detected, we will recommend appropriate treatment to restore your smile.
