Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry can be a precise and effective way to perform dental procedures.
BENEFITS:
- Procedures performed using a soft tissue dental laser may not require stitches
- Certain procedures do not require anesthesia
- Minimizes bleeding because the high- energy light beam aids in the clotting of exposed blood vessels,thus inihibiting blood loss.
- Bacterial infections are minimized because the high- energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.
- Damage to the surrounding tissue is minimized.
- Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
SOFT TIISUE(GUM) PROCEDURES
- Crown lengthening: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissues( soft tissue laser)and expose the healthier tooth structure.
- Muscle attachment: A laser frenectomy is an ideal option for children who are tongue tied. A laser frenectomy may also help to eliminate speech impediments.
- Soft tissue folds(Epulis): Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures.
