The Benefits of Ultrasonics at Karl A. Smith, DDS
What Are Ultrasonics?
Ultrasonics are instruments that use sonic energy to remove plaque and tartar. These instruments have smaller tips that allow Dr. Smith to complete treatment with greater precision and give patients better results.
How Do Ultrasonics Work?
Just as “ultraviolet” refers to electromagnetic waves beyond the range of human vision, “ultrasonic” refers to sound waves with a frequency too high for us to hear.
Our ultrasonic tools vibrate at these high frequencies, making them highly effective at performing important tasks within the confined spaces inside and around a tooth.
