Stop cavities before they start!

Cavities start before you can see them. If not detected early, it may be too late to repair the damage without invasive procedures such as drilling and filling.

Stages of Cavities
70% of cavities are missed with current cavity detection aids1

The CALCIVIS® Imaging System is a significant advancement in preventive dentistry that allows you to see the early signs of demineralization of the tooth associated with cavities, so your dental professional can recommend preventive treatments before the damage is irreversible.

The Stages of Caries Development

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. They are caused by a number of factors including bacteria, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth well. (Mayo Clinic)

The procedure can be done during your routine dental visits, it is:

  • Simple
  • Non-invasive
  • Imaging of the tooth surface is completed in less than a second

Prevention Made Easy

Your dental professional can share the results immediately while still in the dental chair, so you decide on the best course of treatment for your individual needs.

Once you have your initial images they can be used at recall appointments to monitor the progress of your treatment and assist you in managing your dental disease.

The benefits of early detection are:

Natural tooth structure preserved
