Everyone wants to receive comfortable dental care that will be effective. Now, you can with the modern advancements that the dental world has posed: laser dentistry! In fact, your local dentist offers laser dentistry in Lincoln to help patients conveniently and painlessly achieve the smiles they’ve been wanting all along.
Learn About Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry has been general dentists for recent years to substitute short, high-energy, focused light beams for uncomfortable dental drills, painful scalpels and other more abrasive dental practices. Lasers allow for increased accuracy, low heat and little damage to surrounding hard and soft tissues. Whenever it’s appropriate, your dentist in Lincoln will recommend using a laser rather than a metal dental tool on your smile.
Modern laser dentistry offers:
- Reduced pain, not even the need for local anesthesia in most cases.
- Eliminating the dental drill for cavities and decay.
- Detecting tooth decay.
- Comfortable periodontal therapy.
- Excellent antibacterial help.
- Rapid healing times.
- Increased accuracy when cutting and treating issues.
- Hardening of light-sensitive materials like teeth whitening gels or cosmetic bonding.
- Canker sore treatments.
- Disinfecting the root canal affected area.
Other Uses for Laser Therapy
Some dentists even employ laser therapy for a variety of soft tissue dental services, including advanced gum disease (periodontal) therapy. Additionally, instead of conventional oral surgery to treat your little one’s tongue tie (extra piece of skin under the tongue), the doctor uses the laser to remove the extra tissue and seal the wound in a quick appointment. It’s a faster, less invasive process, that calls for no stitches. A process your child will hardly even remember!
Plus, advanced technology like laser therapy allows your dentist to help address the cosmetic issues that people want to improve about their smiles. For instance, if you have a “gummy smile” in which excessive gum tissue makes your natural teeth look too short, your dentist can remove some of the tissue with a quick laser treatment. Before you know it, you’ll have a bright, proportionate looking smile that you can’t stop showing off!
