Advanced Caries Management – Carivu

NEW! We can now spot tooth decay earlier…without pain and without radiation!

At Bellevue Dentists, we feel it’s important to invest in technology when it truly benefits our patients, so we’ve added DEXIS CariVu in our practice. CariVu is an amazing new diagnostic tool that lets us see
into your teeth like never before to find cavities and cracks. The device uses safe, near-infrared
transillumination technology and zero ionizing radiation.

Easy and Painless – Flexible arms gently hug your tooth and bathe it in light. This gives the tooth
a translucent appearance that allows us to see into it. A built-in camera captures video and
pictures.

Early Detection – CariVu has been show to reveal cavities earlier than X-ray and is 99% accurate
in finding decay between teeth. It also reveals cracks.

Zero Radiation – This exam is good for all patients and is especially beneficial for kids, pregnant
women, and others who want are X-ray adverse. Since it uses no ionizing radiation, it can be
used as often as needed.

I’ll Show You What I See – The pictures can be screen-shared with you at a large size. This
visualization can help provide insight into your condition and provide you with a better
understanding of the recommended treatment plan.

Ongoing Record – We keep an image history of your teeth so we can compare images from
visit-to-visit and monitor changes over time.

We look forward to your next visit and providing you with your first CariVu Exam!Schedule
