The SOPROLIFE® cavity detection system is a state-of-the-art technology used to diagnose tooth decay before it can develop enough to cause serious damage to your teeth and smile. Using this light-based cavity detection system, our dentist can diagnose and treat cavities in the earliest stages of development, often before they become visible to the eye.

SOPROLIFE® technology is quick and comfortable to use. It detects tooth decay by using:

• Fluorescent light that causes natural tooth structure to take on a bright appearance and decayed tooth structure to appear a dark red, similar to what you would see on a standard dental X-ray.
• A patented light source and electronic system. This system is housed in a lightweight hand-piece that is easily maneuverable.
• Images that are transmitted directly to our office software to give a near-instantaneous image.
• Flexible, comfortable tips that are minimally invasive, comfortable and easy for our team to sanitize and disinfect afterwards.

The high-quality images captured by the SOPROLIFE® system can be displayed side-by-side with regular X-rays and other images of your teeth and supporting oral structures to give a more comprehensive view of your mouth and oral health. Additionally, this cavity detection system does not expose you to radiation and is a very safe option for children, pregnant women and patients who are averse to X-rays.
