Laser Dentistry in Alliston, Tottenham, Beeton, Cookstown, Angus

Lasers are an exciting and latest technology, widely used in medicine, kind to tissues, and excellent for healing. Treatment with the dental soft tissue diode lasers has been shown to have a significant long-term bactericidal effect in periodontal pockets. Scaling and root planing outcomes are enhanced when diode laser therapy is added to the dental armamentarium. The patient is typically more comfortable during and after treatment, and gingival healing is faster and more stable. The laser is now the essential “soft tissue handpiece” for the practice. In fact, there is a case for having a diode laser in each restorative and each hygiene treatment room. Restorative dentistry becomes easier, more predictable and less stressful. Laser therapy expands the clinical scope of practice to include new soft tissue procedures that keep patients in the office. The patient’s gingival health is improved in a minimally invasive, gentler manner.

Few areas where the diode lasers are used in dentistry are:

Gingivectomy Haemostasis: Gingival Troughing for impressions.
Operculectomy Gingival Hyperplasia: Excision and/or recontouring of gingival hyperplasia.
Laser Assisted Periodontal Treatment
