This advanced technology allows us to find cavities where conventional methods do not allow. Diagnodent not only finds cavities growing outside of the tooth, but from the inside, leading to earlier detection and preventative treatment!

The Schick Digital X-Ray System that is used at Kershner & Trepper Dental Associates is a great attraction to many patients. Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed and then fixed in caustic and environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a small electronic sensor. Extremely accurate x-ray images will appear instantly on computer screens, which are in each of the six operatories; therefore you and the dentist can see the problem immediately, and the usual wait for x-ray film to be processed is eliminated. Estimates are that a person will receive ninety percent (90%!) less radiation using this x-ray method. And, because patients can visually see their x-rays as the doctor explains any problems to them, they have a much better understanding of the problem and treatment plan needed.
