Laser dentistry offers numerous advantages over traditional techniques, making it an invaluable tool in a wide range of oral surgery procedures. This technology uses concentrated light beams to perform various dental treatments with greater precision, reduced discomfort and faster recovery times.
At the office of Westchester Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Implantology, you will find out why we have earned an outstanding reputation. Our expertise allows us to accurately assess and address various issues, which ensures the highest level of care for patients.
Lasers are particularly advantageous for surgeries on gums and other soft tissues in the mouth. Common soft tissue procedures include gingivectomy, frenectomy and the removal of benign oral growths. During a gingivectomy, lasers can reshape the gums, treat gum disease and improve the appearance of a gummy smile. A frenectomy involves removing the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that restricts the movement of the tongue or lips.
Lasers made for hard tissues can cut through teeth and bone. During the preparation to fill a cavity, a laser precisely removes a tooth’s decay while preserving the tooth’s healthy structure. Patients appreciate the minimization of drilling and physical discomfort.
For a root canal procedure, lasers disinfect the root canals by eliminating bacteria and infected tissue. Bone reshaping with lasers is often used to prime dental implants or to correct jawbone irregularities. Lasers enhance accuracy and reduce trauma to the tissues, both of which lead to quicker recovery times and better outcomes.
Laser dentistry plays a significant role in cosmetic dental procedures, with teeth-whitening one of the most popular cosmetic treatments. Lasers accelerate the whitening process by activating the bleaching agents that were applied to the teeth. Noticeable results appear in less time compared to traditional whitening methods. They’re also used in gum contouring, a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line and improves a patient’s smile.
Westchester Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Implantology stands out for its commitment to personalized care, taking the time to understand each patient’s unique needs, lifestyle and preferences. This ensures that treatment plans are tailored to optimize oral health while considering individual circumstances and goals. Please call us today to schedule an appointment.
