High Tech Dentistry Lasers Starfire Dental is one of the only dental practices in La Salle county to use dental lasers. Laser procedures for advanced dental work generally do not require any stitches (sutures) or surgical packing and it is relatively painless -- honest! Your teeth are very important, which is why precision when working on them is one of the key responsibilities of the dentist. With the HydroBeamT Illuminated Hand piece, Dr. Myers can see precisely what he's doing and make sure that no harm is done to your teeth. The HydroBeamT's air/water deliver system enhances patient comfort while enhancing the visibility of the dentist. The laser is used for both hard and soft tissue dental applications. Beyond a painless procedure, it also aids the comfort of the patient. Since the laser does not cause heat or vibration in the mouth it eases the pain and anxiety of patients who fear the vibration and high-pitched whine of traditional drills. To learn more about the Waterlase® laser used at Starfire Dental, please visit the Biolase website. Anesthetic Technology Scared of those old fashioned needles?
