Laser Dentistry
There are many benefits and advantages associated with laser dentistry. Laser dentistry has been practised for over 12 years, with lasers being successfully used in many other areas of medicine such as ophthalmology (eye surgery) and in many areas of cosmetic surgery.

The Erbium Laser used by Dr Murray Ploetz at The Dental Centre New Farm is one of the latest technological advances available in dentistry. The Erbium Laser is used primarily to remove decay, in a fast, painless and (usually) needle-free manner. There is no contact with the actual tooth; this means no unpleasant grinding and drilling in your mouth.

The laser is an extremely precise tool, which makes it easier to leave the surrounding healthy tooth area completely untouched. A sterile seal is created on the area of the tooth that has been treated by the Erbium Laser, reducing the likelihood of sensitivity and protecting the root canal area from further damage.

At The Dental Centre Newfarm, our new Erbium Laser is on order, but is not likely to be available until August 2003. Please feel free to subscribe to our eNewsletter and we will advise you as soon as our new laser dental treatments become available.
