Isolite™ – An Advance in Patient Comfort
We
use another technology that is time saving and makes any
procedure easier for you. It’s called Isolite, and it is
both a suction device to provide a dry field for dental work
and a very bright light for sufficient illumination in the
oral cavity during precision work. Any discomfort from the
bulky rubber dam is now eliminated, and the treatment is
easier and less time consuming.
No More ‘Fat Lips’ or Numbness
After Treatment! Another
type of patient discomfort that we remedy is the “fat lip”
problem. After local anesthesia, a patient’s mouth and lip
will feel numb for three to five hours. With the use of
OraVerse™, 15 minutes after your work is completed, you will
be back to normal. If you feel uncomfortable with the
numbness, we can easily reverse that feeling for you.
