The Isolite Difference, Saving Patients Time and Money While Improving Comfort

Better Isolation = Better Dentistry

The technological world of dentistry is constantly improving the standards of patient care.  At Gilmore Dental, Dr. Gilmore researches materials and technology that will provide the best end product with the best longevity, while improving patient comfort. 

Isolite is one of those technologies.  When doing restorations on patients some of the challenges include: 1) controlling moisture 2) retraction of the tongue and cheek and 3) suctioning particles.

1) Controlling Moisture: With Isolite, Dr. Gilmore is able to significantly reduce the amount of moisture in the oral cavity.  Excessive moisture can cause voids in the restoration material or improper bonding of the restoration to the tooth.  Reducing the amount of moisture in the oral cavity greatly impacts the integrity and longevity of the restoration.

2) Retraction:  Often times the tongue or cheek can block visibility of teeth Dr. Gilmore is working on and can get in the way of the drill causing cuts in the tongue or cheek.  With Isolite, the tongue and cheek are completely isolated providing Dr. Gilmore with great visibility while protecting the patient.

3) Suctioning:  One of the main concerns when working on patients is aspiration of materials, whether removing old amalgam fillings or whole crowns.  Isolite suctions all of the small particles and blocks the throat ensuring no large particles are aspirated, again protecting the patient.

What does all of this mean for patients?  Greater comfort during procedures, shorter appointment times and a better end product.
