Laser Dentistry

Cutting-Edge Technology From Versa Wave Technologies

Dr. Hartman’s office now offers cutting-edge technology with Laser Dentistry using the latest equipment from Versa Wave Technologies. The laser works by using energized water droplets that allow staff to gently and precisely work on dental procedures with no pain or heat. The laser dental system helps sterilize as it cuts, leaving less chance for bacteria contamination. It prepares teeth for maximum bonding of tooth colored enamel with absolutely NO anesthesia.

Advantages to Laser Dentistry Include:

• Ability to place many fillings without local anesthesia
• No high-pitched whine or vibration from the grinding of a drill
• Sterilization of the tooth as it removes decay and reduction of recurrent decay under old fillings
• More effective sealants because the laser removes any debris which can cause decay from the pits and grooves of the biting surfaces
• More effective non-surgical gum treatment because lasers can sterilize pockets painlessly.
• Treatment of canker sores and cold sores
• More effective surgical procedures because there is no bleeding and the surgical field is sterilized by the laser
• No numb lip after patient leaves the dental office
• Desensitization of teeth

Our office has been highly trained on this new procedure and welcome patients to experience the benefits of laser dentistry. Please call our office for an appointment.

Welcome to Smiles for Life Dentistry – A Biological Dental Practice by Jeffery D. Hartman, D.M.D., PC., Huntingdon Pennsylvania

The health of the mouth is a reflection of a person’s total well being. Understanding your life style allows the health-centered practice to assist in guiding you to optimal dental health.
Dr. Hartman is a holistic general dentist who believes patients today increasingly take more responsibility for their own healthcare. He knows they tend to be well read, educated by previous dental experiences, and more discriminating in their choice of treatment methods. He has a desire to help health-minded patients achieve optimum wellness. Dr. Hartman wants to teach these patients that much more is known about the interactions between the teeth and the whole body functions, about the negative effects of many materials and about the alternatives that are more biologically compatible then the traditional methods.

Dr. Hartman has the knowledge and understands the properties and proper placement techniques required for using more advanced materials. The Smiles for Life health-centered office has compiled educational materials, new methods and techniques and alternatives to better serve our patients.
