Laser Dentistry		Laser Dentistry   New Dental Laser Enables Dental Office to Offer No Shot, No Drill, No Pain Dental Care to Patients With lasers being the dominant instrument of choice in eye surgery, dermatology, and other medical fields, it was only a matter of time before they became the instrument of choice in dentistry. That time has arrived at Dr. Jeffrey Penfil’s dental office in West Chester. After installing the new Waterlase dental laser, Dr. Penfil and his staff at Preventive Dental Associates are now equipped with a revolutionary new dental instrument that allows patients to visit the dentist without having to get a shot of anesthetic, hear the sound of the dental drill or even suffer any pain (in most cases). "I can’t wait to go to work in the morning," said Dr. Penfil, "Waterlase can make what used to be a painful and stressful experience comfortable and even pleasant. What a wonderful thing to offer – not only for dental phobics but for all patients." The Waterlase works because of its patented Hydrokinetic energy, which is produced by emitting laser energy into a spray of atomized water. The water is energized and then capable of cutting a wide range of human tissue including enamel (the hardest substance in the body), bone, cartilage and soft tissue. This has important 21st century benefits for both the dentist and their patients that include: Most procedures can be done without anesthesia, without needles or patient trauma Quickly cuts all parts of tooth including enamel, dentin and caries Effectively performs numerous soft tissue procedures with little or no bleeding Avoids many common problems of the high speed drill. For example, when a high speed drill comes in contact with a tooth, it causes micro fissures (small cracks) which weaken the tooth structure and eventually allow decay to set in Does not leave a smear layer, which allows the Waterlase to create a high quality surface for bonding composites, veneers, etc Dr. Penfil, whose office is at 106 S. high St. in West Chester, is the first dentist in Chester County to employ this amazing new technology.
