Piezosurgery

When something happens and you need to have a dental surgical procedure done, you might find yourself understandably concerned. After all, our teeth are meant to last us a lifetime and the thought of losing them, or even allowing someone to treat them, is one that induces anxiety in many people. With that said, however, it is important that you understand just how far dental surgery has come over the past few decades. While older tools used for surgical purposes did the job, they also tended to damage surrounding soft tissue in a patient’s mouth. That means that while the bone in question was treated, the tissue around it also experienced trauma from which it would need to heal. Today, however, we have tools like Piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a unique dental hand piece that enables us to operate in a precise area. This dramatically cuts down on the amount of “collateral damage” that you experience as a patient.
