hydrokinetic dental laser technology

What are the benefits of the Hydrokinetic laser?
No Drills, No Needles, it's Pain-Free!

  • Heat and vibration are the causes of most pain associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic cutting does not transmit heat or vibration. MOST DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN BE PERFORMED WITH NO PAIN, VIRTUALLY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR ANESTHESIA IN MOST CASES.
  • The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave behind as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your teeth longer.
  • Effectively performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives your dentist a new high-tech tool for many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled appointment.
  • Avoids many common problems of the high speed drill, including cracks in the teeth from the vibration and rapid turning of the frill burrs which can weaken your teeth, creating future problems. The laser sterilizes as it cuts, leaving less chance for bacterial contamination.
  • The Millennium prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes the bonding of tooth colored fillings, allowing them to last longer.

Is the laser safe?
In the hands of your trained dentist, the Millennium¨ is as safe as other medical devices. With it's 2mm active range from the tip, the laser provides pinpoint accuracy, reducing the chance of causing damage to healthy tissues. The primary safety measure necessary during laser treatment is proper protective glasses.

What can the Millennium¨ be used for?

  • Decay Removal
  • Cavity Preparation
  • Reshape "gummy" smiles
  • General soft tissue procedures
  • General dentistry for enamel and dentin
  • Avoid being "numbed"
  • Avoid the shot and pain
What is Hydrokinetic technology?
The Hydrokinetic process is the removal of tissue with YSGG laser-energized water droplets. Hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting Hydrokinetic energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body), and soft tissue (gum tissue) with no heat and no pain in most cases.
