Waterlase®
YSGG Hydrokinetic Dental Laser
In
combination with an air/water spray, this HydroKinetic
YSGG laser is able to replace the drill in many instances.
No longer will the whine of the drill be heard, but
rather a popping sound similar to that of popcorn
popping. Since there is no heat or vibration from
the Waterlase, the need for anesthetic (THE SHOT)
is eliminated in most cases!
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system
that aids in early diagnosis of cavities in
the complex anatomy of the chewing surfaces
of teeth. It utilizes laser light of a defined
wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized
tooth substances without x-ray exposure.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
The cavitron is an ultrasonic scaler. Power
scalers do a more thorough job in less time. This
results in significantly decreased scaling time
and healthier, cleaner teeth and gums. Hand scalers
require repetitive scraping movements and are
restricted to adaptation of only one or two sides
of the instrument. In comparison, all four sides
of a power scaler can be adapted, because the
device moves in an elliptical motion. This comes
in handy when removing stain and deposits from
behind and between the teeth. Ultrasonic scalers
are more effective in removing stain as well.
The ultrasonic vibration helps control oral bacteria
by breaking down the cell wall of the bacteria.
The water used to cool the cavitron then helps
to rinse away bacteria, stain and debris.
Prophy Jet
An advanced air polishing cleaning technology
which uses air/water/sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) to gently remove stains and dental plaque
while at the same time polishing the teeth.
In
combination with an air/water spray, this HydroKinetic
YSGG laser is able to replace the drill in many instances.
No longer will the whine of the drill be heard, but
rather a popping sound similar to that of popcorn
popping. Since there is no heat or vibration from
the Waterlase, the need for anesthetic (THE SHOT)
is eliminated in most cases!
