From detection to treatment, Lasers are revolutionizing dentistry.

 

 

 

 

 

 Diagnodent is a laser emitting handpiece that is used as an adjunct in the detection of caries. It works by shining an impulse of light of known wavelength onto the tooth. The changes in the level of fluorescence of light emitted back by the tooth are indicative of caries 

 

 

 

 

The PowerLase AT Spa by Lares Research is an all tissue laser that can be used for treating cavities in teeth without the use of novacaine. It can also be used on soft tissue for the treatment of gum disease and also in smile makeovers for achieving the best look by altering the level of the gumline.

 

The benefits of lasers:

*quieter than a dental drill, with 

   no whining or vibration.

*Very precise, minimal impact on

   oral tissue. 

*They're gentle and generally

   painless requiring little or no 

   anesthesia 

*They can minimize bleeding and

  swelling and speed the healing

  process

*they reduce the risk of infection

   by decontaminating the areas
