Laser Dentistry in Goffstown, NH
The dental laser has been used in the dental field for well over 50 years and continues to be an innovative tool our team uses for a wide range of dental treatments. The laser uses concentrated light and heat for precision and accuracy in treatment procedures. That precision delivers exceptional results with accelerated healing since it also sterilizes the treated area.
Dr. Leonardi and her team use the dental laser for several types of treatment procedures. We find that laser dentistry in Goffstown streamlines treatment procedures for our patients and improves their experience at Glen Lake Dental.
Cold Sore Treatment
Cold sores are uncomfortable lesions that develop on the soft tissues. They typically start off with a tingling sensation, pain, or itching. The lesions can then develop into a sore that takes one to two weeks to heal.
Early treatment with the dental laser, when you first notice the lesion, can interrupt the viral process and could prevent the cold sore from developing further, and may even help prevent a reoccurrence in some cases.
If you or a loved one suffers from cold sores regularly, contact our team at Glen Lake Dental at (603) 668-5307 to learn more about how we can help.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the soft tissues and bone that provide support for your teeth. This is a prevalent condition that affects nearly half of American adults. If you don't successfully manage your condition, it can result in tooth loss. Gum disease is actually the leading cause of tooth loss in adults over thirty.
The dental laser can help with treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) as it can comfortably and efficiently eliminate infected tissues without impacting healthy tissue and without the need for cutting. The laser sterilizes the treated area, which provides quicker and more comfortable healing.
Dental Impressions
There are several types of dental procedures that require impressions, such as a crown, bridge, or veneer. Instead of using messy impression material to take a physical impression of your teeth, we can now use the dental laser to scan your teeth, create a 3-D image, and fabricate an impression of your teeth or smile.
The dental laser makes taking an impression more comfortable and efficient for our patients, and it typically provides a more accurate image than alginate impressions taken in the past.
