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.

A tooth positioner is another choice, especially in children, for straightening teeth without braces. Tooth positioners are specifically designed to correct over jet, overbite, crowded or rotated teeth and spaces between teeth. If placed early enough, a tooth positioner can eliminate the need for the more expensive orthodontic treatments. All children should have an orthodontic screening by age seven to evaluate future needs.
