PowerLase® AT…The Ultimate Laser For All Tissue Performance
Because the most important thing in our practice is
you, we are constantly looking for better ways to
make your visits to our office more comfortable and
provide you better dental care.
We have recently added to our practice the most cutting
edge dental laser on the market. –the
PowerLase® AT by Lares RESEARCH. There are
an overwhelming number of benefits to using a dental
laser and we are excited to show you all of them.
-
Fewer needles: Our dental laser can be used to perform
almost all common cavity preparation procedures
without the need for patient anesthesia. We know
you don’t like injections, even when it doesn’t
hurt!
-
No numbness: We know that you prefer not to become numb
or leave the dental practice after a procedure numb.
And, many of you feel anxious from physiological
reactions to commonly used anesthetics. Our laser
eliminates this negative side effect in most cases.
-
No drill noise and vibration: Cavity preparation involves
significant noise
and vibration and we know you dislike it. The sound
of a laser is not objectionable and no vibration
is transmitted into your mouth as the tip of the
laser never even needs to contact the tooth!
-
Preservation of healthy tooth
structure: In general cavity preparations performed
with lasers preserve more healthy tooth structure while avoiding the micro-cracking
of healthy enamel associated with dental handpiece
use.
-
Less post operative discomfort: Many laser procedures
result in less post operative discomfort.
-
Better Overall Care- Equiped with laser technology, our
practice is armed with more and better treatment
options than other dentists without a laser, resulting
in delivery of the very best, state of the art care
possible for your mouth and teeth.
In
the end, dentistry is all about the
you. We have made a significant investment
in laser technology that will allow us to provide
you better and more comfortable.
The
PowerLase® AT offers both contact (A) (included)
and non-contact (B) (included) Er:YAG
handpieces with integrated triple-port water spray.
Constructed from rugged titanium, the handpieces may
be heat sterilized between patients.
