Detecting and treating tooth decay at the earliest point possible is the goal for all dentists. The problem is, dental caries (tooth decay) is not always obvious and easy to diagnose, particularly in the early stages.
To improve the odds for early detection on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, Dr. Donald Wilcox uses the DIAGNOdent caries detection aid. The DIAGNOdent is a portable laser unit that finds these cavities and alerts us.
In the past a dentist had a dilemma when a tooth looked suspicious. He could treat the tooth which may or may not have a cavity or he could wait and see and the potential problem could continue to grow. The DIAGNOdent makes early detection easy and even provides a numerical readout that allows your Scottsdale dentist, Dr. Wilcox, to track the size of the lesion.
Small, newly formed cavities are easier to treat and the smaller restorations required preserve more of the natural tooth. This helps maintain a strong tooth structure and the possibility of breakage later on. When a tooth has a great deal of decay many times a simple “filling” can no longer be used to restore the tooth – more complex restorations such as inlays, onlays or crowns may be needed.
The DIAGNOdent has proven to be over 90% accurate in the early diagnosis dental caries. This early diagnosis and treatment allows Desert Smiles to provide the best, most cost effective dental treatment options for our patients in the Peoria, Arizona area. Please contact us today to find out more dentistry with DIAGNOdent and about preserving your healthy smile.

Have you ever looked at before and after pictures of people who have received smile makeovers and wondered what you might look like with the smile of your dreams? Seeing your own “before” and “after” photos is possible without having any dental procedures at all.
At your first visit to Glendale cosmetic dentist, Dr. Donald Wilcox you will receive a thorough examination including digital x-rays and photographs of your smile. Using a technique called dental imaging, the team at Desert Smiles will digitally enhance your smile to illustrate the cosmetic possibilities available to you. Chipped teeth, awkward spaces, crooked and overlapping teeth are replaced by a whiter, straighter, younger looking smile.
Dental imaging uses a sophisticated computer program in conjunction with the artistry of the Desert Smiles team to create the enhanced image. This “after” photo allows the patient to explore what modern cosmetic dentistry techniques can achieve before they make a decision on their treatment.
Your appointment for viewing your cosmetic dental imaging will include a thorough discussion of the changes suggested and an explanation of the techniques and procedures that can be used to achieve that beautiful “after” smile. Cosmetic dental cases normally involve a combination of porcelain veneers, dental crowns, dental bleaching, cosmetic bonding and the artistry and skill of your cosmetic dentist.
Please contact Dr. Donald Wilcox, your Glendale dentist today. Don’t forget to ask about cosmetic dental imaging and how you can satisfy your curiosity about what changes cosmetic dentistry can make to your smile.
