The Primary Benefits Of Laser Dentistry

For many individuals, laser dentistry Long Island can be an effective and precise method for performing a number of different dental procedures. The ability of the dentist to control the duration of the exposure and the output on the gums or teeth is why the potential for improving these types of procedures rests in the hands of the professionals performing them. It also enables dentists to treat a highly specific area so that no surrounding tissues incur any damage.

Laser Dentistry Applications

Additionally, there are a number of applications of laser dentistry that enable a laser dentist to perform a broad range of procedures that they may not otherwise be capable of performing. Laser dentistry is a state-of-the-art technology that can be incorporated into a number of different dental procedures both common and uncommon. Today’s laser dentists are very adept at using this technology in order to provide the patient with a pleasant experience and thereby reduce any fears they may be having of undergoing this type of procedure.

Primary Benefits Worth Considering

Laser dentistry Long Island is a more natural and virtually painless method for performing certain dental procedures. Traditional dental drills typically cause pain because of the heat, pressure, and vibration that result when using them. Whether hard (teeth) or soft (gum) tissues are being cut during a procedure, the laser will not create these issues. Basically, there is less need for anesthesia and the procedure can be performed in pain-free fashion. Other benefits include:

Accuracy and precision – our laser dentist can remove bone and gum tissue as well as tooth enamel decay with extreme accuracy and precision while at the same time not affecting the surrounding teeth and tissues. This enables you to conserve and maintain your teeth’s natural structure in the process.

Decreased bleeding and swelling – with laser dentistry, our patients experience minor to no bleeding along with reduced post-operative swelling and discomfort. This is attributed to the device’s conservative cutting action on any gum or soft tissue.

Fewer visits to our office – our laser dental procedures rarely require the administration of any anesthesia. The technology also provides our qualified and trained laser dentist can perform a number of procedures thereby eliminating the need for a specialist to be involved.
As you continually address the dental needs of your family, you save a lot of hassle and time.

Reduced trauma – high speed dental drills can cause future dental problems by creating hairline cracks or fractures in your teeth. Laser dentistry minimizes trauma by greatly decreasing and sometimes eliminating the risk of any damage to surrounding healthier teeth.

Versatility – due to the number of hard and soft tissue procedures that can be employed, laser dentistry is an extremely versatile option for bone surgical procedures, cavity preparation, decay removal, gum tissue, root canals, and smile restoration design.
