Dexis CariVu allows our doctors and our hygienists to see into your teeth like never before and capture pictures of them for diagnostic review and sharing right on-screen with you.

​

How does it work?

The exam is painless and simple. Flexible arms gently hug the tooth and bathe it in infrared light as the built-in camera captures live video and still images of your teeth.

​

What's so great about it?

CariVu can be safely used as often as needed, and because it uses no X-rays, it's especially beneficial for kids, pregnant women, and others who want to avoid ionizing radiation.

​

What are some of the uses for it?

CariVu can detect a potential cavity sooner, which can call for taking preventive measures early while monitoring it over time to see whether there's improvement or decline. CariVu is particularly good for finding a cavity between teeth, even in the early stages, since its actual size and shape can be seen, treatment can be more targeted.

​

A cracked tooth can be viewed from multiple angles to reveal the shape and extent of the fracture. This can aid in determining the best course of action.

​

What's a benefit of this system?

Images are stored in your patient record and can be compared from visit to visit. They can also be shared with specialists when necessary.
