Waterlase iPlus Laser Treatment Used For Crown Lengthening

As our name suggests, we are progressive and forward thinking. Time does not stand still and neither does dental technology. After a great deal of thought and research, we have invested in the amazing Waterlase iPlus 2.0 dental laser. This incredible, state of the art technology allows us to perform dentistry that simply was not possible before. For example, crown lengthening.
 

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is often required on heavily broken-down teeth to increase the height of the tooth so that a new crown can be placed. In the past, this treatment involved surgery with the use of a scalpel to cut the gum, a drill to remove bone and stitches to hold the tissue together. The area would then need to left to heal for six weeks prior to starting the crown treatment. Not anymore. The Waterlase iPlus laser allows us to carefully re contour the gum and bone tissue, expose more tooth for the crown and start the crown preparation on the same day. There is minimal bleeding, no need for any cutting, no stitches and minimal pain. The new crown is typically back within 2 weeks ready to fit. Hey presto, new tooth!

Just take a look below at a recent case of a crown lengthening procedure:

Single Dental Implant To Replace A Molar Tooth

Our case of the month for September 2016 involves a single dental implant to replace a molar tooth. Molar teeth are extremely important teeth for chewing and replacing them is vital to maintain function and protect the adjacent and opposing teeth. Single dental implants are excellent at replacing missing molar teeth. The process is usually straight forward and can be described in 5 steps:
 

  1. Careful planning
  2. Place dental implant
  3. Allow healing of 10-12 weeks
  4. Take impressions
  5. Fit implant crown


Our case is a classic case involving a lower left missing molar tooth:

Cosmetic Bonding - The Modern Way To Enhance Teeth

You may not have heard of cosmetic bonding. What is it? In simple terms, it involves enhancing teeth with adhesive dentistry using high tech white filling material. The major benefit of the treatment is that it is minimally invasive. There is no drilling of the underlying tooth, no need for needles, no pain and it is far more affordable than porcelain veneers.

Is the time for porcelain veneers over? Not really. Porcelain is still the most highly aesthetic material available and it is extremely durable. If you would like the Hollywood makeover, this is still the option of choice (after teeth straightening!)

Here is an example of cosmetic bonding and the difference it can make:

Surgical Crown Lengthening Is Now Easy!

We love our Waterlase i Plus laser. Why? Well, it makes treatment that was difficult, painful, time consuming and costly into an everyday event. A prime example of this is surgical crown lengthening. What is this? Well, if you have broken a tooth and there is not enough tooth left to place a crown, you will need surgical crown lengthening. In the old days, this involved a scapel, stitches, bleeding, pain and a long time to wait before the next step. No longer. Using the Waterlase i Plus, we can perform the surgical crown lengthening at the time of preparing the crown for the tooth. The laser sterilises at the time of application, reduces bleeding, swelling encourages regeneration and has amazing healing capacities. No stitches, minimal pain and no time delay. Just take a look at a recent case:

Modern day dental care means that we can transform a smile without cutting, drilling, needles and any pain. What's more, these techniques are far less costly. No brainer! Just take a look at a prime example:
