Introducing Laser Dentistry

Most dental patients love laser dentistry. Lasers are almost silent and very gentle.  Often, recovery times are improved. Lasers also have many other advantages, including:

• Reduced need for anesthetic
• Remove cavities
• Effective removal and relief from canker sores
• Re-contouring of gum lines and cosmetic dentistry
• Highly effective, gentle way to treat gum disease

Quoted from the Biolase  Website:  “Lasers are widely used in a variety of medical fields such as ophthalmology, gynecology, urology, dermatology, otolaryngology (ear, nose, throat), gastrointestinal tract ailments, and cosmetic and general surgeries. In many applications, lasers have become the preferred method of treatment. In October 1998, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared BIOLASE's HYDROKINETIC laser for hard tissue dental procedures.  Along with previous clearance for soft tissue procedures, BIOLASE believes that this unique patented HYDROKINETIC laser cutting technology can become the standard for hard and soft tissue cutting instruments.

BIOLASE's products are designed to elevate the worldwide standard of medical and dental care. The Company addresses the tissue heating problem of traditional laser systems on hard tissue cutting procedures by developing its innovative Target Tissue CoolingT system (TTCT). This breakthrough should allow for the advanced use of lasers in many medical areas and holds tremendous potential for the dental, orthopedic, cosmetic, dermatological, and neurosurgical markets. “
