Special Equipment

We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of technological advances in dentistry. Here are just a few ways our equipment helps us to give you the best service: 
 
Knebworth Dental Surgery is one of the few dental practices in the UK to use lasers. Lasers are versatile and quiet, killing bacteria that cause dental disease. Healing is much quicker and often pain free. We have lasers for soft tissues as well as teeth. Lasers can often be used to enhance and make comfortable, various treatments.

Tooth Preperation
Soft Tissue and Gum Treatments
Hair Removal (especially around the mouth).
Skin Rejurmation
 
The Diagnodent laser detects problems at the earliest stage. Treatment to stop such problems developing can be given using ozone which kills the bacteria. 
 
Computer-controlled Anaesthesia allows injections to be given more comfortably and effectively, minimising the dose required. 
 
Digital technology enables us to take instant x-rays with reduced radiation. 
 
Central Sterilisation is routinely used to enhance protection for patients and staff.  
 
Air Abrasion enables us to prepare teeth for fillings and fissure sealants, without noise or vibration and often without an injection or drill. Treatment is highly conservative, avoiding lengthy appointments and reducing costs.
