REMOVING PREVIOUS PORCELAIN VENEERS USING FOTONA LASER | Beverly Hills Dentistry

[@theyogininextdoor]

Hello there! :) Is it possible to save more teeth material with this? What is the purpose of this laser?

[@Beverlyhillsdentistry]

When removing veneers yes as it’s detaching the veneers with the laser vs cutting into to them and potentially removing some tooth structure. The laser allows us to painless and efficient remove them one by one. Non- traumatic.

Hello, What's happening if the laser encounter enamel of a teeth by accident ? Can fotona laser remove a ceramic EMAX inlay for instance ?

[@Beverlyhillsdentistry]

The Fotona laser is highly precise and can be adjusted to specifically target the dental cement used to bond the veneer to the tooth. This is possible due to the specific wavelength of the laser, which is calibrated to interact with the cement material rather than the porcelain of the veneer or the enamel of the tooth. The laser energy essentially vaporizes the cement, allowing the veneer to be removed without causing any damage to the tooth or the veneer. Yes you can remove EMAX inlays.

[@Beverlyhillsdentistry]

Hello, good question. No the laser will not work on metal.

[@rohanagarwal417]

Does the cement or bonding agent underneath come off easily ? Does it cement damage the teeth enamel ?

[@Beverlyhillsdentistry]

Yes it easily comes off. No, the laser breaks down the cement and that’s how the veneers come off.

[@Beverlyhillsdentistry]

No. We clean out the remaining cement and place a set of temporaries based on the new smile design that we’ll propose.
