Ultrasonic Cleaning Technology

Using state-of-the-art ultrasonic dental cleaning allows for more comfortable deeper cleaning below the gums. Removal of stain, plaque, and tartar is quicker with less discomfort. During your cleaning, the hygienist uses an instrument called an ultrasonic scaler, or Cavitron. The Cavitron distributes ultrasonic vibrations to literally blast dental tartar or dental calculus off of your teeth. As the ultrasonic scaler vibrates, it produces sound waves to break apart stubborn calculus. Warm water flows out of the tip’s end to wash away debris. Although you won’t feel the vibrations or hear the sound waves, you’ll most likely notice that your teeth feel cleaner.
