At Katoomba Dental Centre, we embrace state-of-the-art dental technology in our daily practice. We want to make sure your experience in the dental chair is as comfortable as possible—and quicker than ever.
Here are some of the ways we are incorporating dental technology into our surgery.
S1 Diode Laser
Laser dentistry typically makes your dental treatment or surgery far less invasive. With our laser, you'll not have to worry about traditional scalpels and sutures. Additionally, dental lasers typically mean minimal to no bleeding and a faster recovery time.
Depending on the situation, your dentist may use laser dentistry in the following capacities:
- Periodontal treatment
- Oral surgery
- Tooth lengthening
- Tooth root surgeries
- Biopsies
- Cosmetic dentistry
- General treatment
- Tongue and lip tie reversals (Frenectomies)
- So much more!
To Learn More, We Welcome Your Call
We enjoy bringing technology into our dental practice that makes dentistry more straightforward for our valued patients. We encourage you to call if you have questions.
STA Wand Painless Local Anaesthesia
If the idea of a shot to get anesthesia concerns you, we can help. Our STA Wand is designed to deliver painless anesthesia.
Typically, it is not the needle that causes pain but the flow of anesthesia before it numbs the treatment site. The STA Wand delivers anesthesia differently and more precisely. In most cases, a small area surrounding your tooth feels numb instead of the entire jaw and face.

Cone Beam CT
Cone beam CT is different from a traditional CT. Of course, it can produce clear, crisp and resizable images to aid in diagnostics, just like a traditional CT. However, Cone beam technology produces three-dimensional images of your oral structure, which allows your Katoomba dentist to plan treatments with precision.
Additionally, cone beam technology is digital, which means less radiation exposure and environmentally friendly printing and film storage.
Cone beam imaging uses include but are not limited to:
- Evaluating the oral structure to plan treatments
- Surgical planning for dental implants or impacted wisdom teeth
- Diagnosing painful conditions like TMJ

Medit Digital 3D Scanner
Our digital scanner allows your Katoomba dentist to take digital impressions. This technology replaces goopy mould impressions that feel choky or cumbersome inside the mouth. Digital scanners use minimal radiation but provide precise specifications. The precision of digital imaging means fabricating more exact restorations and appliances, including but not limited to:
- Clear aligners
- Tooth-coloured restorations
- Dental prosthetics
Do You Have Questions for Our Team?
Digital scanning makes for a more comfortable dental impression, which is why we're pleased to offer it in Katoomba. We welcome your call if you have questions.
