At Smiles at Southgate, we’re committed to providing the most advanced and comfortable dental care available. That’s why we proudly offer laser dentistry – a modern approach that utilizes focused beams of light to perform a wide range of dental procedures with greater precision and often less discomfort than traditional methods.
What is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry employs specialized lasers that emit concentrated beams of light energy. These lasers can be used to:
- Remove tissue: Precisely remove decay, diseased gum tissue, or abnormal growths.
- Stimulate healing: Promote tissue regeneration and faster healing times.
- Sterilize the treatment area: Minimize the risk of infection by sterilizing the treated area.
Experience the Benefits of Laser Dentistry
- Enhanced Precision: Laser technology allows for greater accuracy and control, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
- Increased Comfort: Many procedures can be performed with minimal or no anesthesia, making the experience more comfortable and relaxing for our patients.
- Faster Healing: Laser treatments often result in faster healing times with reduced post-operative discomfort and swelling.
- Improved Sterilization: The laser’s sterilizing properties minimize the risk of infection, ensuring a safer and more hygienic treatment.
- Reduced Bleeding: Laser energy can minimize bleeding during and after procedures, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
