Piezo Technology Clifton NJ

Ultrasonic scaling removes calculus and reduces the number of harmful bacteria below the gum line. It is an important tool in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.

Dr. Resnick uses the Piezo ultrasonic scaler. It consists of a wand with a small scaling tip that produces a soft ultrasonic vibration. The small, quick vibrations in combination with a water flow give us a whole new level of effectiveness in calculus removal. The benefits of ultrasonic scaling include:

  • Increased efficiency of calculus removal
  • Less need for hand scaling of stubborn deposits
  • More comfortable access to the root surfaces, thanks to the small tip.

The tip of this dental instrument gently moves at about 2000 cycles per second. It safely vibrates stain and deposits off your teeth without scraping or cutting. Deep cleanings can be accomplished without the discomfort of traditional cleaning techniques.
