Extraoral suction: infection control
Extraoral aerosol suction is critical to removing infected aerosols and droplets produced during procedures that require high-speed instruments, such as scaling and drilling.
IQAir extraoral suction air purification systems provide a line of defense against harmful airborne pathogens and infectious material that can threaten the health and safety of patients and staff. When combined with intraoral suction, IQAir extraoral suction air purifiers right at the patient source can reduce aerosol levels, bacterial colonies, and airborne viral particles from dental procedures to almost zero:
HealthPro Plus: Provides maximum infection control of airborne pathogens like bacteria and viruses as small as 0.003 microns along with exceptional filtration of odors, chemicals, and VOCs.

Laser Gum Surgery:
The shape, color and appearance of your teeth can easily be changed to create a beautiful smile with modern cosmetic dentistry techniques, such as tooth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental implants and porcelain veneers. However, most people are not aware that a Cosmetic Dentist also can create a beautiful smile with subtle changes to their gums using soft-tissue lasers that recontour the gum-line. Recontouring of your gums can drastically change and improve the natural balance of your smile. The soft-tissue laser is one of the newer dental tools available to the Cosmetic Dentist. It can be used often without any anesthetic to reshape your gums painlessly to give a beautifully sculptured smile that would be the envy of a Hollywood movie star. Laser gum surgery may be appropriate for you in the following situations.
Intra Oral Camera:
