Perimetrics InnerView® is a diagnostic device that measures what is happening structurally inside a tooth or implant, something traditional exams and x-rays cannot fully capture. Cracks, loose restorations, and implant instability often start beneath the surface long before you feel pain or a problem shows up on an x-ray.
How the Scan Works
During your exam, Dr. Kauffman uses a small handheld device that delivers a series of gentle micro-taps to the tooth or implant, each lasting only a couple of milliseconds. Sensors capture how the tooth responds, and the device's software analyzes that data to generate a numerical reading of the tooth's structural stability.
The entire process takes about three seconds per tooth, involves no radiation, and feels like light tapping rather than a procedure.
Tracking Change Over Time
What makes InnerView especially useful is the ability to track that number over time. Dr. Kauffman can record a baseline reading and compare it at future visits, which makes it possible to catch subtle structural changes early, sometimes before symptoms or visible damage appear.
As a beta tester for this technology, Dr. Kauffman has been able to offer this level of diagnostic insight to his Atlanta patients ahead of most practices.
