A Step Ahead With Dental Lasers!

LASERS provide an advanced and accurate tool for several procedures in dentistry. In our facility we use it for crown lengthening, depigmentation, excisions, root canal disinfections.

A lesser known but very useful application of a LASER is the treatment of oral ulcers which when treated with a LASER gives immediate relief and heals within 2 days.



BENEFITS OF USING A LASER FOR THE PATIENT

Any soft tissue procedure carried out with a dental LASER causes minimal or no bleeding as the light beam helps to clot and seal the exposed blood vessels.

Procedures done with a soft tissue LASER seldom require stitches.

It is possible to perform certain LASER procedures without injections - with just mild topical anesthesia.

Wounds are said to heal faster and patient comfort post procedure is generally higher than with full fledged surgery.

The energy beam sterilizes the area hence infections are minimal.

Why do we use Digital radiography And OPG imaging at our clinic?

The value of a good radiograph in the diagnosis and treatment of dental diseases cannot be stressed enough. Most clinics underestimate a radiograph and hence tend to miss many vital clues. 

With the use of state of the art digital radiography systems we now have the opportunity to take radiographs via sensors which are thin and hence comfortable and also which use the minimal possible dosages. We also boast of an in house OPG machine which means a full mouth x-ray can be taken for screening and other diagnostic purposes. 

ADVANTAGES FOR OUR PATIENTS

1.MINIMAL RADIATION:
Digital radiographs (depending on the type) require 4-10 times LESS radiation than conventional.

2.IMMEDIATE VIEWING:
They can be viewed immediately and no processing is required.

3.CONSISTENT IMAGE QUALITY:
Due to the higher dynamic resolution range, as long as the exposure factors are within plus or minus 30%, an image of good quality will be produced. Conventional radiography is far less forgiving.

4.IMAGE ENHANCEMENT:
They can be enhanced and manipulated in order to give the best diagnostic value.

5.STORAGE:
They can be stored for years and emailed to the patient for their records.
