Laser dentistry has revolutionized the dental field, offering a less invasive, more comfortable way to achieve a healthy smile. At Glen Lake Dental, we are proud to provide our patients with cutting edge technology and a comfortable dental experience. We have successfully used laser dentistry on over 3,000 procedures to improve our patients' oral health and well-being.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes laser dentistry a game changer.
Understanding the Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Precision and Comfort
Dental lasers work by delivering a focused beam of light energy directly onto a specific area of tissue. This allows us to perform procedures with pinpoint accuracy, leaving the surrounding healthy tissue untouched. This level of precision is not possible with traditional tools like scalpels. The controlled energy also helps to cauterize tissue, which significantly reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing.
Minimally Invasive
Many people worry about pain and recovery time after a dental procedure. Laser dentistry addresses these concerns directly. Because the laser doesn't "cut" tissue in the traditional sense, many procedures can be done with little to no pain. We also use a local anesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout your treatment.
How Laser Dentistry Can Improve Your Smile and Health
Laser dentistry is incredibly versatile. We use it to provide a wide range of treatments, from cosmetic enhancements to restorative procedures.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: We can use the laser to gently clean beneath the gum line and remove damaged tissue, helping to treat gum disease with minimal discomfort.
- Cold Sore Treatment: Laser therapy can effectively and quickly treat painful cold sores, providing relief and helping them heal faster.
- Restorative Dentistry: Our dental laser can take digital impressions of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy, "goopy" molds and allowing us to create precise restorations like crowns and veneers.
- Aesthetic and Surgical Procedures: Lasers can be used for a variety of cosmetic and surgical treatments, reducing the need for sutures and promoting a smoother recovery.
