GentleWave® Procedure - Minimally Invasive Root Canal Alternative

Patient-Centered Root Canal Treatment Technology

Our commitment to patient-centered care led us to adopt the GentleWave® Technology, aiming to revolutionize root canal treatment (RCT) for enhanced efficacy, efficiency, and patient comfort. Traditional RCT methods, reliant on manual files, often fall short in reaching complex root canal anatomy, leaving behind infected tissue and bacteria, and risking reinfection —the top factor compromising root canal treatment success rate.

Saving Your Natural Tooth with GentleWave® Procedure

The GentleWave Procedure adopts a minimally invasive approach, reducing reliance on manual instrumentation. Instead, it harnesses a potent combination of procedure fluids and acoustic energy, forming a powerful vortex that thoroughly cleanses even the most intricate parts of the root canal system.

A New Standard in Cleaning

Through multistage optimization, the procedure fluids are energized and propelled throughout the root canal system, effectively eliminating infected tissue, debris, and bacteria. This comprehensive cleaning promotes faster healing and sets a new benchmark for root canal therapy.

How Does the GentleWave® Procedure Differ from Other Root Canal Options?

Thorough Cleaning of Complex Anatomy

Utilizes a unique combination of multisonic energy and vortical flow to effectively clean even the most intricate parts of the root canal system, reducing the likelihood of future retreatment needs.

Enhanced Patient Comfort

Minimally invasive design improves treatment outcomes and facilitates rapid, pain-free healing. Remarkably, 96.6% of patients experience minimal to no discomfort following the procedure.

Efficient Single-Visit Treatment

With over 92% of patients completing treatment in a single session, the GentleWave® Procedure saves valuable time for individuals with busy schedules.

Preservation of Natural Tooth Structure

Fosters dentin conservation, maintaining the structural integrity of the tooth and promoting its overall strength and durability.

Innovative Safety Measures

Utilizes negative pressure technology at the root end to confine fluids within the root canal system, preventing leakage and minimizing irritation to surrounding tissues.

Understanding Biofilm: A Hidden Threat to Dental Health

BIOFILM IS BAD

Biofilm is a complex community of microorganisms, such as bacteria, that adhere to surfaces and form a protective matrix, making them highly resistant to antimicrobial agents and immune responses.
Dental biofilm is insidious. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. You can’t feel it. But it is the main cause of tooth decay (caries), gum disease (periodontitis) and even tooth loss.

GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY identifies biofilm and thoroughly removes it.
