CONVENTIONAL DRILL Vs LASER DRILL
HARD TISSUE (TOOTH) LASER DENTISTRY PROCEDURES CAVITY DETECTOR:
Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used for the early detection of cavities by providing a reading of the by-products produced by tooth decay.
DENTAL FILLINGS / DECAY REMOVAL
Hard tissue dental lasers may eliminate the need for a local anesthetic injection and the traditional dental drill associated with a lot dental fear due to its noise and pain associated with it. Lasers used in dental filling procedures are capable of killing bacteria located in a cavity, potentially leading to improved long term tooth restorations. However, dental lasers are not appropriate for the replacement of amalgam fillings, onlays or crowns.
TOOTH SENSITIVITY: Dental lasers may be used to seal tubules (located on the root of the tooth) that are responsible for hot and cold tooth sensitivity
SOFT TISSUE (GUM) LASER DENTISTRY PROCEDURES:
CROWN LENGTHENING: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue (soft tissue laser) and bone (hard tissue laser) to expose healthier tooth structure. Referred to as crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations.
GUMMY SMILE: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy tooth structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
MUSCLE ATTACHMENT (FRENULA): A laser frenectomy is an ideal treatment option for children who are tongue tied (restricted or tight frenulum) and babies unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement. 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.
OTHER LASER DENTISTRY APPLICATIONS
CROWN LENGTHENING: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue (soft tissue laser) and bone (hard tissue laser) to expose healthier tooth structure. Referred to as crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations.
TOOTH IMPLANT Your functional and esthetic solution to missing teeth. BENIGN TUMORS: Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of benign tumors from the gums, palate, sides of cheeks and lips and tongue.
COLD SORES / ULCERS: Low intensity dental lasers reduce pain associated with cold sores and minimize healing time.
TEETH WHITENING: Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers can be used to speed up the bleaching process associated with teeth whitening.
Lasers represent an innovative and highly precise technology for specific hard and soft tissue applications. If you choose a laser dentist like DR Akshay Soni & TEAM, you may find that you feel more comfortable and less anxiety during your other wise fearful dental treatments.
