Gentle Dental Laser Instead of Drills
No Shot - No Pain - No Kidding!
Because we care so much about your comfort, we have invested in the ultimate in dental lasers - the Waterlase from BIOLASE, a patented technology combining the energy of lasers with a spray of water. This enables us to perform a wide range of dental procedures which are more comfortable for our patients. What this means to you is that we use fewer shots and less anesthesia during procedures, ultimately reducing patient anxiety and providing a more relaxing dental experience.
Benefits of Using Waterlase
Patient Comfort - Since cutting teeth and gums with Waterlase does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be performed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips!
Accuracy and Precision - We can remove tooth decay precisely while leaving the surrounding areas unaffected. This allows you to keep more of your healthy tooth structure.
Reduced Trauma - Unlike high speed drills, Waterlase reduces damage to healthy portions of the tooth and minimizes trauma.
Improved Cavity Fillings - Waterlase cavity preparations can increase bond strength of tooth-colored restoration resulting in longer lasting fillings.
Less Bleeding and Swelling - Waterlase is gentle as it performs many gum procedures so there is little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.
Fewer Dental Visits - Without shots or anesthesia, we can perform cavity preps in all areas of the mouth in just one visit. We can also perform many procedures that were previously referred to specialists.
CEREC Restores Your Broken or Damaged Teeth in a Single Visit!
A new reason to smile is only one visit away... We offer technology that will save you time and more of your original tooth with convenience and comfort! CEREC is a revolutionary way to restore broken or damaged teeth in a single visit, making your teeth stronger than before. The restoration is natural looking because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material. It is metal-free -- no silver fillings to discolor your beautiful new smile!
Painless Laser Finds Hidden Tooth Decay
The Diagnodent is one of the coolest pieces of high-tech dental equipment that we have here at Applegate Dentistry. It is a laser so highly advanced that it can detect a cavity through the enamel of your tooth. And it is totally painless! Old fashioned methods of detecting cavities, such as the Explorer Stick test, are only about 50% accurate. But with Diagnodent technology, the success rates are near 100% for accurately diagnosing a cavity.
Gentle Dental Laser Instead of Drills
No Shot - No Pain - No Kidding! Conventional dental drills grind away tooth... Ouch! Because we care so much about your comfort, we have invested in the ultimate in dental technology - the Waterlase Gental Dental Laser. What this means to you is that we use fewer shots and less anesthesia during procedures, ultimately reducing patient anxiety and providing a more relaxing dental experience.
Safer Digital X-Rays
Increased sensitivity - decreased radiation! Advances in digital x-ray technology means we can get better results using only a small fraction of the radiation compared to the x-ray machines of just 30 years ago. We proudly use the Orthoralix 9200 DDE, the latest greatest in digital x-ray technology. One x-ray from this machine exposes you to less radiation than spending the afternoon in the sun. Yet it is more accurate than other machines!
State-of-the-Art Oral Cancer Screening
At Applegate Dentistry we use a state-of-the-art device called the VELscope Oral Cancer Screening System. Along with our conventional oral cancer screening exam (which includes looking inside your mouth for any lesions that might be visible to the naked eye and feeling your neck for any suspicous bumps), we use the VELscope to literally see beneath the surface to detect potentially dangerous growths we might have otherwise missed.
