Laser Dentistry for Those with a Dental Phobia
While patients of all ages can struggle with varying levels of dental anxiety, laser dentistry can help enhance the treatment process in more ways than one. With laser dentistry, we can increase the precision of our treatment without the need for certain traditional metal dental tools. This way, patients who have any concerns about dental checkups can still receive the dental treatment they need. In fact, laser dentistry can make it so patients feel minimal to no sensations.
Laser Dentistry Provides a Better Experience
By performing laser dental treatments, we can eliminate the common reasons why people are uncomfortable during dental procedures – heat, pressure, and vibration. When it comes to treat child patients with laser dentistry, we will need to make sure they are a candidate. We use the SOLEA laser system. As the first CO2 dental laser system cleared by the FDA, we can use SOLEA laser for various types of oral tissue procedures.
With this system, most patients do not require any anesthesia and benefit from this system causing little to no irritation. Laser dentistry is the next step in oral health care from professional cleanings to various dental procedures. The laser is incredibly thin so we can make precise incisions when necessary. We can even use lasers to correct issues like tooth decay. The difference is that the surrounding gum tissue is not impacted or irritated in any way.
By removing this risk, our patients can undergo the same dental procedures but with a faster recovery time. Simultaneously, our patients are more comfortable than if the procedure was performed in the traditional manner. For example, laser dental fillings achieve the same results but without the discomfort. Simultaneously, lasers can also be used to help stop the bleeding so that when a more intensive procedure is being performed, gauze may be unnecessary or only used temporarily. Patients can appreciate the opportunity to have dental work completed in this non-invasive way. If you would like to experience laser dentistry for yourself, we invite you to call 760-730-3456 and schedule an appointment.
