Laser Dentistry at Clifton Dental Studio

Using a painless laser to protect your smile!

There are 3 main benefits of using the Dental Laser:

1) It's Completely Harmless And It's Completely Painless

2) It Typically Picks Up Early Cavities

3) We Can Measure Borderline cases and recommend solutions

At Clifton Dental Studio we have a fantastic bit of equipment that we use for our guests to give you the very best care for the longer term. It’s a laser. It’s a laser that measures active tooth decay within your teeth, cavities within your teeth.

The way this works is it measures the disease-causing bacteria that cause cavities to develop and grow in the first place. The equipment itself will then measure that, providing a number between, or a measurement between 1 and 99. Essentially, the bigger the number the higher the risk that what’s there will get worse, and the lower the number, the less risk of what’s there will get worse. What the research shows is, once we start recording numbers 15, 20, and over, that’s when active tooth decay is actually present, and treatment is indicated.

There are a number of benefits of using this laser. The first one is, is that it is completely harmless and it’s completely painless, so it means we can measure the teeth as often as we like.

The second benefit is that it typically picks up early cavities, which don’t show up on dental x-ray, so it means we have the opportunity to treat the tooth at an earlier stage and avoid drilling and filling, which is also very nice for you as a patient.

Thirdly, if there are any teeth there that are measuring 10 or 15, so borderline measurements that we’re not happy about, but we don’t actually want to treat, we have the opportunity to then measure those teeth time and time again over a period of you coming in to see us for your regular hygiene and maintenance. If we see that number start to increase, then we know there’s high risk that, that will get worse, and then we can offer you a solution to prevent that from happening.

This is a piece of equipment that you will the team using on a very regular basis when you come to see us because it has many benefits in terms of your health, and also reducing the amount of treatment that’s actually acquired over the longer term, and offering us an opportunity to provide minimal treatment or conservative treatment should the need arise to do so.

Yesterday, I had another excellent experience of pain-free dentistry at Clifton Dental Studio. Dr Neil Gerrard, assisted by Qualified Dental Nurse, Kate Burt, prepared a badly cracked tooth to be ready for a new ceramic crown. Neil used an anaesthetic that was drip-fed slowly, under computer control, directly into the tooth and nerve. It was 100% effective in numbing the tooth without affecting the jaw or that area of the mouth. Many thanks to Neil and Kate and, as usual, to Julie for her warm welcome at reception.Edited on 23rd April 2025: Another great experience at Clifton Dental Studio; truly the home of pain-free dentistry - as I said to dentist Sylvia and dental nurse Kaitlin when they fitted a new crown yesterday. Brilliant service, accommodating me at less than 24 hours notice after I'd broken a temporary crown.read more

I just want to share a little bit about my experience with Clifton Dental Studio. It's been 10 years since I had a complete smile makeover with them and I have to say the results were absolutely amazing! I used to be so self conscious of my teeth that I wouldn't smile or be photographed. Now I can't stop smiling.My treatment plan was quite intensive and lasted over a year but Dr Neil and the team took spectacular care of me throughout the entire process. The setup at Clifton Dental Studio is wonderful from the moment you walk in the door. The communication is second to none and the follow up care is amazing. It truly is the home of pain free dentistry !I would highly recommend Clifton Dental Studio to anyone looking for cosmetic dentistry. They have completely transformed my smile and my confidence and I couldn't be happier with the results.read more

Heather the hygienist always does a thorough job and is very knowledgeable about various procedures when asked. She also offers good advice for general maintenance and this time I had a 3D scan of my teeth for future reference which looked good…. Less reliance on moulds too perhaps. Heather is lovely. Well done all!read more

I cannot recommend this dental practice enough! I’ve always had a fear of dentists, but the entire team here is so friendly, supportive, and reassuring. They take the time to talk through each procedure, which really helps put me at ease. The treatments are mostly pain-free, and their care and professionalism are second to none.
