Dental Laser
A New Era in Dentistry
Imagine dentistry with:
- No Needles
- No Drills
- No Whining Sound
- No Vibration
- No Anxiety
The Dental Laser has arrived.
How is the laser different than the drill?
The drill is a very powerful tool due to the vibration and large hole it creates, and unfortunately cause a lot of discomfort. In general anesthesia is always needed. The Dental Laser, the latest in technological advances is a great alternative for the patient.
The laser light works on destroying and removing the decay without the uncomfortable vibration.
No more a drilling sound, just a gentle tapping.
How does the laser work?
The Dental Laser removes cavities and treats soft tissue problems with the energy of light. The specialized light produced by the dental laser is selectively absorbed by the cavity or soft tissue. In the case of treating a cavity, the laser gently removes the decay, sterilizing the area and leaving more of the healthy tooth in tact.
Will I still need anesthesia?
Probably not! In most clinical studies 96% of the patients didn’t require anesthesia when the dental laser was used to remove decay. This means that you will not have to spend time waiting for numbing to take effect or to wear off. Additionally, multiple teeth in different parts of your mouth can be worked on in ONE visit. .
Is the laser safe?
Absolutely, dental lasers are very low powered and the treatment has proven to be appropriate and safe in over tens of thousands of applications throughout the world. It is FDA approved. The laser is ideal for both adults and children.
What else can the laser treat?
The Dental Laser is effective for soft tissue procedures on the gums, cheeks and tongue with less pain, less bleeding and faster healing times. The laser is also being used in a variety of endodontic (root canal) procedures as well.
