Advanced Light Technology for Early Decay Detection

Microlux Trans Illumination is a dental technology that uses a bright, focused light to help dentists detect tooth decay and other dental issues. During a Microlux examination at Dental Artistry, our dentist will shine the light onto the teeth, which illuminates any areas of concern, such as cracks or cavities, making them easier to see. The technology is particularly useful for detecting early signs of decay, allowing for more timely treatment.

In addition to detecting decay and other dental issues, Microlux Trans Illumination can also be used during cosmetic dentistry procedures to help dentists achieve more precise results. By illuminating the teeth and gums, the technology can help dentists identify areas that require shaping or contouring, allowing for a more natural-looking final result.
