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.
