Laser Dentistry
Waterlase
The Waterlase uses HydroKinetic technology to perform a variety of dental procedures, including cavity preparation, caries removal, tooth etching and a wide range of soft tissue (gum) procedures.
The Waterlase system uses laser-energized water to remove tooth enamel.
The Waterlase emits a laser beam that energizes a highly precise spray of air and water.
Water droplets absorb the laser energy and become laser-energized water particles that when directed at the tooth, rapidly remove enamel, dentin and decay/caries.
Benefits
The Waterlase significantly improves your comfort in an office visit: 98.5% of the patient’s treatment with the Waterlase system reported no discomfort during the procedure in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial conducted at the University of the Pacific.
Because it does not cause heat or vibration in the mouth, Waterlase may ease the pain and anxiety of people who fear the vibration and high-pitched whine of traditional drills. In contrast, the Waterlase makes a gentle “tapping” noise.
Waterlase uses a cool-water spray to remove tooth enamel without generating heat. Conventional drills and lasers can overheat teeth during procedures, including discomfort and irreversibly damaging the soft tissue or pulp underneath.
CEREC
CEREC 3D is a high instrument that helps dentists restore damaged teeth. The new
First, the dentist prepares the damaged tooth by painting a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth’s surface. Using a special camera, a picture is taken of the tooth. No need to take a messy impression and send it to the lab. As the design of the restoration evolves on screen, the dentist views it with a full 360-degree perspective. Freeform editing in three-dimensional realism makes designing the restoration intuitive and precise.
What kinds of procedures can it perform?
- Partial and full crowns
- Veneers
- All other single-tooth restorations.
What are the advantages CEREC 3D offers?
- The restoration is performed in a single-session, usually in 1-2 hours.
- No need to make an impression and send it to a lab.
- No return visits for the patient.
- The restoration is natural looking, as it is made out of tooth-colored ceramic material.
- Ceramic material is biocompatible, high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque resistant.
- Metal-free – no silver-colored fillings
- Allows to save more of the healthy tooth
- Extremely precise.
