Spectra is a laser-like fluorescent device that allows us to detect cavities before they are visible on x-rays. By shining Spectra onto a tooth, the fluorescent light technology causes microscopic cavities to light up in a red color. This enables us to precisely locate the cavity before it becomes visible through other technologies. Detecting cavities earlier leads to smaller fillings, preserving the aesthetics of a smile and preventing costly procedures in the future.
