Benefits of Peizosurgery Will Be Demonstrated in Santa Monica

June 7, 2014

Dr. Andrew Satlin is one of the dentists in the Santa Monica area who specializes in Piezosurgery to prepare patients for dental implants. It is an innovative technology that utilizes ultrasonic micro-vibrations for slicing bones at the same time minimizes trauma to the tissue and the surrounding bone. The procedure allows dentists to prepare the implant site with better precision while the patient feels minimal discomfort from the procedure.

Piezosurgery was designed to be used in periodontics, oral surgery and implant site preparation. It uses ultrasonic vibrations that are created through a surgical tool to cut hard tissue, such as bone. It lessens the trauma to the gums as well as the bones around the implant site.

The standard practice of jaw bone surgery utilizes drills that can lead to tissue and bone loss no matter how skilled the dentist might be. Severe heat from the drill and the other tools used by the dentist can damage the surrounding tissue. With Piezosurgery, the dentist avoids the risks because it doesn’t involve cutting or drilling.

Dentists can use the new technology to perform extractions, crown lengthening, periodontal therapy, and implant site preparation with more precision. Patients experience less post-operative pain and swelling. They also have faster healing time with Piezosurgery. Top dentists across the US have already benefited with the use of Piezosurgery.

Dentists who utilize Piezosurgery are more confident in performing the procedure. The ultrasonic vibrations used in the procedure also provide greater accuracy while the patient is more at ease and comfortable.

Patients should know that they are getting the best of modern technology when they need to have surgery. Piezosurgery offers convenience and precision beneficial for both the patients and doctors. There’s less pain and few risk of damaging tissue during the surgery. Be sure to ask your dentist about Piezosurgery the next time you are scheduled for a surgery.
