Biolase Laser Dentistry
No shots, No drills... It's Pain-Free!
In most cases.
In combination with an air-waterspray, 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 similarto that of popcorn opping. Since there is no heat or vibration from the Millennium, the need for anesthetic (THE SHOT) is eliminated in most cases!
The Hydrokinetic process is the removal of tissues with YSGG laser-energized water droplets. Hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting Hydrokinetic energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body), and soft tissue (gum tissue) with no heat and no pain in most cases.
Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the pain associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic cutting does not transmit heat or vibration, MOST DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN
BE PERFORMED WITH NO PAIN, VIRTUALLY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR ANESTHESIA IN MOST CASES.
The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave behind as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.
Effectively performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives your dentist a new high-tech tool for many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled ppointment.
Avoids many common problems of the high speed drill, including cracks in the teeth from
the vibration and rapid turing of the drill burrs which can weaken your teeth, creating future problems. The laser sterilizes as it cuts, leaving less chance for bacterial contamination.
The Millennium prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes the bonding of tooth colored fillings, allowing them to last longer.
The high speed dental drill may cause a smear layer, a layer of dead organic material. The Millennium creates cuts with NO smear layer, providing a better surface for bonding, and allowing your filling to last longer.
In the hands of your trained dentist, the Millennium is as safe as other medical devices. With it's 2 mm active range from the tip, the laser provides pinpoint accuracy, reducing the chance of causing damage to healthy tissues. The primary safety measure necessary during laser treatment is proper protective glasses.
