Dental Elevators

Dental Elevators

Extraction depends on breaking the periodontal ligament cleanly before any force is applied to the tooth itself, and that is entirely down to elevator selection. Velmourne's dental elevators span periosteal, root tip and winged patterns in stubby and standard handles, for small animal and exotic dentistry.

Why Elevator Choice Matters

• The correct tip width seats into the periodontal space without gouging the root or socket
• A stubby handle gives closer control in a small mouth; a standard handle gives more leverage where it's needed
• Winged elevators let controlled rotational force be applied without slipping
• A silicone-coated grip reduces hand fatigue across a long dental list

Elevators and Sets

• Periosteal Elevator 2mm and 4mm and No. 9 — for reflecting the periosteum ahead of extraction.
• Straight Tip Elevator 1mm and 2mm, both on stubby handles — for fine root work.
• Canine Root Elevators and Coupland Dental Elevators — established patterns for specific root and socket shapes.
• Dental Root Elevators, Silicone Coated, Set of 8 — a full range of tip widths in one set.
• Standard Dental Elevator Kit (Winged) and Stubby Dental Elevator Kit (Winged) — complete winged sets by handle length.
• Sterilisation Cassette — keeps a set organised and protected through autoclaving.

Tips are ground and checked individually, since an elevator that doesn't hold a true edge does more harm than good at the socket.
