Benefits of Laser Dentistry 

At The Exchange Dental Group, we pride ourselves on offering the latest advancements in dental technology, including laser dentistry. Our commitment to providing exceptional care means that our patients can enjoy a multitude of benefits when choosing laser dentistry for their dental treatments.

• Enhanced comfort: Laser dentistry significantly reduces discomfort during dental procedures. The precise nature of laser technology minimizes the need for invasive techniques, resulting in less pain and reduced trauma to surrounding tissues. This means a more comfortable experience for our patients, leading to a positive dental visit.
• Minimally invasive: Laser dentistry allows for precise and targeted treatment, preserving healthy tooth structure and minimizing the need for extensive drilling or incisions. With minimal invasiveness, our patients can experience faster healing times, reduced bleeding, and a decreased risk of post-procedure complications.
• Improved precision: The advanced precision of lasers enables our dental professionals to target specific areas with utmost accuracy. This level of precision ensures efficient treatment while preserving surrounding healthy tissues, resulting in better outcomes and an overall higher quality of care.
• Reduced anxiety: We understand that dental anxiety is common among patients. Laser dentistry offers a less intimidating experience, as it eliminates the noise and vibration associated with traditional dental tools. The gentle and quiet nature of laser treatments can help alleviate anxiety, making dental visits more comfortable and stress-free.

Laser Dentistry Uses

Here are some key applications of laser dentistry we offer at The Exchange Dental Group:

• Periodontal disease treatment: Laser-assisted periodontal therapy effectively targets and eliminates bacteria and infected gum tissue, promoting gum health and reducing pocket depth, a common symptom of gum disease.
• Frenectomies (tongue tie surgery): Laser frenectomies gently remove or modify the frenulum, the connective tissue that attaches the lips or tongue to the gums, allowing for improved oral function and relieving conditions like tongue ties.
• Curing (hardening) a dental filling: Laser technology can be used to quickly and effectively cure or harden composite dental fillings, ensuring a strong bond between the filling material and the tooth for long-lasting results.
• Removal of decay or damaged tooth structure: Lasers precisely remove decayed or damaged portions of a tooth, preserving more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional drilling methods.
• Treatment of cold sores and canker sores: Laser dentistry can effectively reduce discomfort and expedite the healing process for cold sores and canker sores, providing relief and minimizing the duration of the outbreaks.
• Accelerated teeth whitening: Laser-assisted teeth whitening enhances the effectiveness of whitening agents, speeding up the process and delivering noticeable results in less time compared to traditional methods.
• Gum contouring or crown lengthening: Laser technology allows for precise reshaping of the gum line, correcting issues such as excessive gum tissue or an uneven gum line, to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

With these diverse applications, our LANAP laser enables us to offer our patients a range of advanced treatment options. Our skilled dental professionals utilize laser technology to provide efficient, precise, and comfortable procedures, ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction.
