Picasso
A new and wonderful era in dentistry has begun. Our high-tech office is pleased to offer this state-of-the-art technology to our patients. Lasers are an amazing new technology for the dental office
The Picasso soft tissue diode laser delivers clinical results and ease of use with the portable design. The 810nm wavelength provides the best combination of clean cutting and hemostasis in a wide range of soft tissue procedures It is known for precision cuts with gum tissue, eliminating bleeding at the site and reducing healing time. Picasso is also being used to help sterilize canals in endodontics, treat periodontal disease, and aid in tooth whitening. Gingival troughing with the Picasso eliminates the need for retraction cord around the tooth preparation.
