Our Diode Laser
Dental lasers are utilized for a variety of dental procedures, offering advantages such as minimal discomfort, reduced bleeding, and faster healing times
Gum Disease Treatment
Our Dental Hygienists and Periodontist Dr. Cady utilize the laser for a variety of gum procedures. With procedures that do not require anesthesia our laser treatments are painless at low level settings.
- Lasers effectively remove diseased or infected gum tissue and bacteria from periodontal pockets.
- They help promote the reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the tooth roots.
- This can result in less bleeding, swelling, and faster healing compared to traditional gum surgery.
Treatment of coldsores
- Faster healing: Cold sores heal significantly faster with laser treatment, often within a few days.
- Immediate pain relief: Patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain and discomfort immediately after the procedure.
- Reduced frequency and severity of outbreaks: Laser treatment may decrease the number of future outbreaks and make them less intense.
- Non-invasive and comfortable: The procedure is generally painless, requires no injections or anesthesia, and has no downtime.
- Minimized scarring: Laser treatment reduces the risk of scarring, according to Chantry Dental Care.
Other uses of the Laser
- Reshaping gums to improve a "gummy" smile or for cosmetic reasons.
- Removing excess tissue, for example, in cases of a tight frenulum (muscle attachment).
- Treating tooth sensitivity by sealing the roots.
