"As a person with lifelong dental problems I have had a great amount of interaction with dentists and oral surgeons. After having all my teeth extracted at age 49 I was referred to Dr. West to discuss dental implants after being told I would not be a good candidate due to severe bone loss. Dr. West's standard of care so far exceeded any other care I had ever received and the procedure was successfully done. From start to aftercare he has continually impressed me. I have received countless comments on my appearance. I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone for a similar procedure."
Laser dentistry is designed to make treatment much more comfortable for the patient and allow for earlier detection of dental decay. Treatment in our Boulder County office can often be done pain-free and reduces the need for anethesia and sutures. Laser dentistry also eliminates bleeding and allows for faster healing. Following are two lasers used in our dental office for different purposes.
CO2 LASER
The CO2 laser is the best laser on the market for many soft tissue applications. Some of the dentistry applications include periodontal therapy, cosmetic gingival recontouring, distal wedge, frenectomy, and gingival depigmentation.
In order to provide a consistant laser interaction with soft tissues, stable energy and consistant peak power must be achieved. The Spectra Denta Laser accomplishes this through a built in Digital Feedback system. The precise control over how much energy is applied to tissues allows penetration of only.1mm reducing the collateral damage to virtually zero.
DIAGNODENT
The diagnodent is one of the best new pieces of technology in laser dentistry over the past 10 years. This laser helps the dentist find decay at an earlier stage. Why is this important? Early cavity detection will lead to a conservative restoration, leaving behind more natural tooth structure and a filling that will last longer. Ultimately, you will have a much less chance of sensitivity and a tooth that is more resistant to future problems.
