The world of dental care is evolving every day. At Dental Care of Plano, we strive to offer you the most advanced treatments to help reduce the time you spend in the office, the discomfort of dental care, and the risk of developing any dental issues in the future. At the intersection of all of these goals is laser dentistry.
Laser dentistry involves using laser technology to perform many of the same types of treatments you already know. For example, laser dentistry can be used to:
- Contour gums
- Treat gum disease
- Reduce and heal canker sores
- Reduce and heal cold sores
…and more! All of these examples share one thing in common: they involve treatment on the soft tissue of your mouth. Laser dentistry is primarily suited for treatments that involve soft tissue, which includes the lips, cheeks, gums, inside of the mouth (such as the roof) and tongue.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
One of the reasons that laser dentistry is so popular now is that traditional soft tissue treatments have never been very advanced. But now, you can expect to feel less pain, to experience less bleeding, to heal faster, and more. There is very little need for anesthesia with laser technology, and we can often do away with stitches and pain medications as well. In fact, the best benefit of all is that there is a much lower risk of any sort of complication compared to traditional soft tissue treatments.
