Dexis CariVu™ is an advanced diagnostic imaging tool designed to help detect cavities and areas of tooth decay using near-infrared light technology. Instead of relying only on traditional X-rays or visual exams, this system allows our dentist to see changes in tooth structure by transilluminating the tooth and highlighting areas where decay may be present. Healthy tooth structure appears differently from areas affected by decay, making it easier to identify concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed. This is especially useful for finding early-stage cavities between teeth or under the surface, where problems can develop quietly.

Because Dexis CariVu™ does not use radiation, it can be used as an additional diagnostic aid during routine exams or when evaluating specific problem areas. The images are captured quickly and displayed in real time, allowing our dentist to review findings and explain them clearly. This technology supports earlier detection, which often means simpler and more conservative treatment options. By identifying decay before it becomes more advanced, Dexis CariVu™ helps protect more natural tooth structure and supports a more preventive approach to dental care. The result is a clearer understanding of your oral health and a more precise plan for maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
