Hidden caries diagnostics
Hidden cavities can go unnoticed for a long time. But inside, the tooth is breaking down, and at some point this leads to pain and complex treatment. Modern diagnostics make it possible to detect the problem at an early stage and save the tooth without unnecessary procedures.
When hidden cavity diagnostics is needed
If your teeth look healthy but sensitivity appears
If you notice dark gaps or spots between your teeth
If there's bad breath with no visible cause
For regular check-ups every 6–12 months

“Cavities can go unnoticed for a long time and be invisible to the naked eye. Modern diagnostics make it possible to detect them at the earliest stages — before pain and tooth destruction.”
What hidden cavity diagnostics is
Hidden cavity diagnostics is a set of examinations that helps detect tooth damage where it isn't visible on a regular examination: between the teeth, under fillings, or on the contact surfaces.
For this we use targeted X-ray images and examination under magnification.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can a cavity develop under a filling?
Yes, it happens. Sometimes a microscopic gap remains under an old filling where bacteria get in. Diagnostics help detect this in time and replace the filling before the tooth is destroyed.
Do I need X-rays if my teeth don't hurt?
Yes, that's exactly the value of diagnostics. In the early stages a cavity may not show itself at all, yet already be destroying the tooth. An X-ray helps detect the problem before pain and complications.
How long does the procedure take?
A targeted X-ray takes a few seconds, and together with the examination the whole diagnostics takes no more than 15 minutes.
