How Does Laser Dentistry Work?
Dental laser treatment involves using concentrated beams of light energy to target specific areas of the mouth. These lasers can be adjusted for different wavelengths, allowing for precise control and customization of treatment.
Types of Dental Laser Treatments
- Soft Tissue Procedures: We use a soft tissue laser for a variety of treatments, such as removing excess gum tissue covering a tooth, treating periodontal disease, and controlling bleeding. One of the most popular procedures is using the laser to stop the progression of a cold sore or aphthous ulcer.
- Frenectomies and Lesion Removal: Our soft tissue laser is also used to perform frenectomies, remove small lesions for biopsy, and remove soft tissue that grows over second molars or wisdom teeth.
- GEMINI EVO Diode Laser: We are equipped with the GEMINI EVO diode laser, which can perform Photobiomodulation procedures. This therapy is used to treat TMJ pain, pain from mouth sores, and promote healing of the extraction socket. The unique aspect of this laser is its ability to perform both PBM and standard soft tissue laser procedures using separate attachments and wavelengths for each procedure.
