Invisalign
Invisalign (computerized orthodontics) is a method
of straightening your teeth without the wires and brackets associated with
braces. The system is virtually invisible and uses a series of clear aligners
that are custom-made for your teeth. The aligners help move the teeth little by
little, and are replaced almost every two weeks, by the next aligner in the
series, until the final position has been achieved.

Intra-Oral Camera
Dr. Hurwitz knows that a picture is worth a thousand words – especially in
dentistry! Dr. Hurwitz uses small cameras right inside your mouth to take highly
magnified digital photos of your teeth. These photos can be displayed on a
computer screen for both patient and doctor, and are invaluable in diagnosing
and recording dental problems. Intra-oral photos also enables patients to view
what the dentist sees when their teeth are being evaluated by the dentist.
ViziLite Plus Cancer Screening
Dr. Hurwitz understands the importance of
detecting oral cancer early. If caught early enough, this form of cancer is one
of the most curable.
An annual ViziLite Plus exam, in combination with a
regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure
for patients at increased risk for oral cancer. The ViziLite Plus exam is
painless and fast, and could help save your life.
ViziLite Plus uses technology that has proven successful
in identifying soft tissue abnormalities in other areas of the body.

Diagnodent
Locating hidden decay before it destroys
tooth structure (from the inside out) is a major goal. Finding cavities
beneath the hard surfaces is challenging because the disease process can
start through microscopic defects in the hard surface can spread into the
softer tooth structure beneath the surface.
Recently FDA approved, this amazing laser
cavity finder instantly and accurately finds cavities in areas x-rays rarely
see and the dental pick misses 76% of the time.
Diagnodent is a major breakthrough that allows us to monitor the areas below the
hard surfaces. We can now locate hidden decay, and with treatment stop the
spread of the disease before it destroys the tooth from within.
