Fiberoptic Transillumination

During your examination, Dr. Levy will use a fiberoptic transilluminator. This is a diagnostic handheld device that emits a concentrated beam of bright light.

With it, he can often eliminate the need for certain x-rays:

  • Its intense light will reveal cavities in between your front teeth and under any existing restorations or bondings they may have.
  • It is useful in detecting cracks or fractures in your front or back teeth.
