At Southern Dental Care, we are always striving to provide quality dental care, a comfortable atmosphere, and state-of-the-art technology. In our efforts to bring Marrero residents the best care available, we’ve added a Phase Contrast Microscope.

Our Phase Contrast Microscope enables us to detect gum disease at its earliest stages, allowing for minimally invasive treatment without the need for surgery. In fact, we can even identify signs of micro-inflammation.

By employing the Phase Contrast Microscope, our dental staff gains a superior diagnostic tool to visualize the bacteria and other organisms that have colonized around your teeth. This dental technology provides us with a detailed understanding of your periodontal health and identifies potential risk factors.

While some patients may not exhibit signs of periodontal disease despite the presence of harmful bacteria, it doesn't guarantee that these bacteria won't become problematic in the future. Such individuals may currently be able to combat the harmful microorganisms, but they remain at risk of developing the disease in the future or when their immunity weakens.
