iTero™ NIRI Caries Detection

Early Cavity Detection Without X-Rays

At Smiles Elevated, we prioritize early detection and preventive care to keep your teeth healthy and strong. That’s why we use the iTero™ NIRI (Near-Infrared Imaging) Caries Detection system, an advanced technology that helps identify cavities and tooth decay in their earliest stages—without radiation.

What Is iTero™ NIRI Caries Detection?

While digital X-rays are still the gold standard and only ADA approved method of cavity detection between the teeth, iTero™ NIRI now provides another way of looking between the teeth. iTero™ NIRI technology uses near-infrared imaging to scan the internal structure of your teeth. Unlike traditional methods that rely on X-rays, NIRI provides a radiation-free way to detect decay between teeth, often before it becomes visible on a standard X-ray or to the naked eye.
