Kavo Key 3 Laser

What the Key 3 laser does:

Destroys bacteria in seconds, even from deep pockets between the tooth and gum

Eliminates the need for dental drilling or anesthetic

Removes plaque and tartar

Penetrates microscopically tiny pockets where gum disease can begin

Gives your dentist continuous feedback as to whether tartar is still present, and when none is left, it switches itself off. That means that the laser will be used exactly as much as necessary for cleaning and no more

Provides a fast, safe, and effective way to do root canals, scaling and planing of tooth and root surfaces, and other dental procedures that have traditionally been uncomfortable and invasive

Seals the gum tissue to prevent infection and promote faster healing after dental surgery

The Key 3 Laser system for dentistry is manufactured by KaVo, Germany. and uses a pulsed erbium:YAG laser (er:YAG). This is a gentle and cool laser with such a short pulse that your nerves never have time to notice it, so you’ll feel no pain.

It penetrates to microscopically shallow levels, which makes it very precise, and it works silently.
