Lasers and more: The benefits of high tech dentistry for Ladera Ranch residents

Dentistry is not a new practice. In fact, archeologists have discovered evidence of crude dental restorations in ancient civilizations, dating back to the pre-Roman peoples known as Etruscans. Through the centuries dentistry, evolved and improved, but it remained challenging and imprecise until the modern era of technology and scientific research.

Although dental procedures are minimally invasive, they are highly complex. The oral structure is delicate, and precision is needed for optimal comfort and appearance. At one time, that level of precision was virtually unattainable. As dentistry evolved, the quality of care improved considerably, but the process was often tedious, commonly requiring multiple appointment to complete a single treatment.

Modern dentistry is reaching an era where most simple procedures, and many complex ones, can be completed in just one visit – with amazing results. Perhaps even more important, especially for phobic or anxious individuals, is the fact that dental care is gentler and more comfortable than ever. Because dentistry is evolving and advancing so rapidly, many practices continue using older technology and techniques. Drs. Alex and Nina Basti are committed to bringing their patients the latest, most innovative and effective dental solutions available. These include:

• Waterlase – From preparing a cavity for filling to performing bloodless gum surgery, Waterlase delivers consistent, gentle, and precise results.
• The Wand – Single Tooth Anesthesia is a revolutionary delivery system that virtually eliminates the pain of injections. In fact, most patients describe it as painless. This is an excellent solution for needle-phobic patients, or anyone who does not like the sting of injections.
• CEREC – No longer are dental crowns tedious, multi-appointment procedures. With CEREC in-office milling, we can create your restoration during your appointment. In just one visit, we will design and place your permanent crown – no temporaries, and no waiting for a laboratory.
