Laser dentistry is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized many aspects of dental care. At Earlwood Dental Care, we utilize laser technology to provide precise, minimally invasive treatments for a variety of dental concerns.
Applications of Laser Dentistry:
- Gum Contouring: Our laser technology allows us to precisely reshape and contour the gums, effectively removing excess gum tissue and lengthening the appearance of teeth. This procedure can enhance the symmetry and aesthetics of the smile, providing a more balanced and attractive appearance.
- Tongue Tie and Frenectomy: Laser dentistry is particularly effective for releasing tongue ties and frenectomies. By using a laser to precisely remove the restrictive tissue, we can improve tongue mobility and function, leading to improved speech, swallowing, and overall oral health.
- Hemostasis (Bleeding Control): Lasers are highly effective for stopping bleeding during dental procedures. The laser’s energy cauterizes blood vessels, minimizing bleeding and reducing the need for sutures or other traditional methods of hemostasis.
- Pain Relief and TMJ Treatment: Our laser technology also offers a special function for pain relief associated with the muscles around the jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). By targeting specific muscle areas with low-level laser therapy (LLLT), we can help alleviate discomfort and tension, providing relief for TMJ pain and associated muscle soreness.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry:
- Precision and Accuracy: Lasers allow for precise and controlled tissue removal, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue and enhancing treatment outcomes.
- Minimally Invasive: Laser procedures are often less invasive than traditional surgical techniques, resulting in reduced discomfort, swelling, and post-operative recovery time for patients.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: The high-energy beam of the laser sterilizes the treatment area, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
- Improved Patient Comfort: Laser procedures are typically associated with less pain, vibration, and noise compared to traditional dental instruments, making them more comfortable for patients, particularly those with dental anxiety.
