At Twenty Twenty Dental in Salisbury we are extremely fortunate to have one of only a few dental lasers in the UK, The Fotona Lightwalker, hard and soft tissue laser.
Lasers provide huge benefits to our patients, allowing increased comfort, easier treatments and faster healing. With the Laser, we are able to offer a wide range of treatments from fillings and root canal treatments to gum treatments and surgery, treatment of cold sores, ulcers, snoring and facial aesthetics. Because the Laser can be used to temporarily numb teeth it is perfect for treating children without the need for injections. This creates a stress free environment for both patient and dentist!
Laser dentistry can deliver a better experience for patients who are particularly anxious. The dental laser is quiet with no heat or vibration. It is also more selective and precise than a drill and it disinfects as it works, keeping the tooth clean and at a much reduced chance of infection and post- operative complications. Often no anaesthesia is required. A huge bonus for our patients with needle phobias.
Laser dentistry fees are very similar to standard treatment fees. Despite it being a new technology that not many practices have access to, it is very cost-effective.
