Piezoelectric Surgery
Piezoelectric surgery is a non-traumatic method of extracting teeth and placing implants in delicate bone, keeping patient discomfort and post-treatment bone resorption to a minimum. If you are a candidate for bone surgery, the surgeon can use ultrasound to cut the bone — a technology known as piezoelectric bone surgery, which is constantly advancing and has in recent years expanded into dental bone surgery.

Uses of the piezotome
Ultrasound technology is used across a wide range of dental surgical procedures.
- Bone incisions, including extractions
- Dental implants
- Bone grafts and contouring
- Sinus lifting
- Ridge expansions
- Crown lengthening
- Periodontal therapy
- Orthodontic microsurgery
- Endodontic surgery
Advantages of piezosurgery
Ultrasound can cut bone in small areas with clean, minimally invasive cuts. These precise cuts mean the surgeon can work without harming anatomical elements such as blood vessels or nerves.
- Less time in surgery
- Safer than older, more intrusive methods
- Less bleeding and less damage to surrounding tissue or bone
- Faster healing time
- Less stress
