Newnan Periodontics and Dental Implants is proud to offer state-of-the-art lasers:
- DEKA SmartPerio 10W ND:YAG Laser
- DEKA Smart US-20D CO2 Laser
- DEKA QuietNite Fractional Handpiece
DEKA’s proprietary UltraSpeed pulse, with high peak powers, allows the clinician the capability to incise tissue with the speed of a scalpel while sealing blood vessels for a bloodless surgical field.
The speed of the pulse allows the surrounding tissue time to cool. The result is virtually no trauma to the surrounding tissue. This means faster, more precise incisions, with improved healing properties. In turn, this leads to more effective treatments with next to no downtime-many times without the need for sutures.
Because of the laser’s precision, power, and control, the Smart US-20D CO2 laser is the laser of choice in oral surgery and periodontal procedures. It provides the broadest procedure spectrum of any dental laser available.
