We have invested in the very latest laser dentistry at Progressive Dentistry- the Waterlase i Plus 2.0 and the Epic 10. Both have different wavelengths and hence complement each other or can be used as stand alone lasers. We think that both lasers are magic! Having now used lasers within dentistry for over five years, these two lasers are certainly the most sophisticated and advanced we have seen. 

One application of the Epic 10 is low level laser therapy LLLT. The aim of this is to aid healing, pain relief and regeneration. We have successfully used LLLT to treat incredibly painful jaw problems, ulcers, cold cores, post surgical pain and non healing extraction sockets. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Future studies will provide exact protocols for specific treatments. LLLT can do no harm and hence it should be used in most aspects of dentistry.

Please contact us if you are interested in laser dentistry and low level laser therapy. It could change your life!

We have invested in the very latest technology- the Waterlase i Plus 2.0. With this amazing dental laser we are able to provide drill free dentistry. Yes, that is correct; dentistry without drilling! Due to the incredible properties of the laser, almost 80% of dental filling cases can be treated without any anaesthetic- so no needles! However, there is more to the laser than simply replacing the dental drill. We can perform all soft tissue procedures using the laser meaning that the traditional scalpels are no longer required, which means less trauma and quicker recovery. There's more! The laser wavelength disinfects as it works, eliminating bacteria, viruses and major pathogens. This in turn provides a major turning point in regeneration of tissues. This has a major impact on all forms of dentistry especially periodontal and implant dentistry. If you detest the dental drill, have a severe needle phobia, want to destroy bacteria in your mouth, have improved outcomes, regenerate tissue and simply enjoy your dental care, contact us today. 

Laser dentistry is at Progressive Dentistry.
