How GentleWave Works
Fluid Dynamics & Acoustic Energy
- • Creates a vortex of cleaning fluids throughout the root canal system
- • Reaches into microscopic spaces and lateral canals
- • Removes bacteria, debris, and infected tissue more completely
- • Cleans the entire 3D canal anatomy, not just the main canal
Minimally Invasive Approach
- • Preserves more of your natural tooth structure
- • Less aggressive than traditional filing
- • Reduced post-operative discomfort
- • Faster healing time
