What is DEXIS CariVu?
DEXIS CariVu is a compact, portable device that uses patented transillumination technology to accurately identify carious lesions and cracks.
How it Works
- Transillumination technology: By emitting safe, near-infrared light, CariVu makes the enamel appear transparent, exposing the tooth's structure.
- Clear imaging: Lesions appear as dark areas, providing a clear and easy-to-understand representation of your dental health.
At San Diego Dental Specialists, we proudly embrace technology's transformative power, revolutionizing how we diagnose and plan treatment.
