Most dentists rely on the same instruments that have been used in their profession for many years. Granted, those instruments are able to get the job done — but in many cases, a better option is available. That is why Dr. Makadia at Sunrise Dental Service on Long Island has invested in state-of-the-art laser technology. What exactly is laser dentistry, and why should you choose it? Read this blog post to find out.
A Brief Introduction to Laser Dentistry
A laser is basically a highly concentrated beam of light. There are different types of lasers, each of which has its own unique purpose. For example, we have a laser that can tighten loose tissue in the upper airway and reduce snoring and sleep apnea. We also have hard and soft tissue lasers that we can use to perform oral surgeries, disinfect diseased tissue, provide cosmetic enhancements, treat gum disease and more.
Reasons to Choose Laser Dentistry
Here are some of the benefits you may experience when you choose laser dentistry over traditional alternatives:
Faster Healing
Patients tend to heal faster when they undergo a laser procedure. That means you can get back to your normal routine quicker than you might have expected.
Minimal Discomfort
Lasers often eliminate the need for sutures and scalpels. In some cases, procedures performed with lasers do not even require local anesthesia. After your treatment, you can expect little to no discomfort as your body heals.
Minimal Risk
Laser-based procedures are considered to be low-risk. That is because lasers are excellent at killing bacteria, meaning that the chances that you will develop an infection are extremely low.
Remarkable Precision
Lasers offer incredible precision. This allows Dr. Makadia to ensure that your entire procedure is as minimally invasive as possible, which can lead to better overall treatment outcomes.
Quieter Treatments
A laser is quieter, which means does not make sounds that may make you feel uncomfortable or nervous.
Ideal for Patients with Sensitive Teeth
The gentle nature of laser dentistry makes it ideal for patients who struggle with sensitive teeth. We even offer a treatment that uses a laser to numb the nerves inside teeth, meaning you can find long-term relief from the discomfort you may feel when you consume hot or cold food items.
