Powerful Plaque Removal Made Gentle
What Is Cavitron?
Cavitron is an ultrasonic dental tool used to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth and below the gumline. Unlike traditional metal hand scalers, Cavitron uses high-frequency sound waves and a steady stream of water to break up and wash away deposits gently and efficiently. This modern approach makes dental cleanings more comfortable, particularly for patients with sensitive teeth or advanced gum disease.
The technology allows for deeper, more effective cleaning without applying excessive pressure. This is especially beneficial during periodontal therapy, where removing buildup around the roots of teeth is essential to stopping gum disease. Patients often report less discomfort, shorter appointments, and a cleaner feeling that lasts. When paired with our laser dentistry capabilities, Cavitron plays a vital role in maintaining your long-term oral health through thorough, yet non-invasive hygiene care.
