BIOLASE EPICX SOFT TISSUE LASER

​

While the Biolase EpicX Laser has a variety of different functions, our dental office often uses the machine to either treat periodontitis or bleach teeth.
 

  • The laser can kill the oral bacteria and activate tissue regrowth. As the laser penetrates the tissue deeply, it seals the nerve endings and blood vessels so that patients can experience no pain post treatment. 
     

  • The laser also can be used to bleach teeth within a 20-minutes treatment duration. It can whiten the teeth up to 6 shades lighter after each treatment. Actual results are vary for each different patient.
