Modern Dental Laser Technology In Boulder
Laser dentistry is just one way that technology has made advancements in dentistry. Laser dentistry can make your treatment feel more comfortable, resulting in efficient treatment and faster healing time.
One of the greatest benefits, other than increasing your comfort during procedures, is that laser dentistry allows us to detect tooth decay earlier. We can get started on restoration treatment before the small issue becomes a big problem.
The Many Kinds of Lasers
We utilize many different kinds of lasers to create a positive dentistry experience at Boulder County Smiles. Some of them have the ability to simply scan and detect, and others actually help us perform oral surgery.
CO2 Dental Laser
The CO2 dental laser is one of the top lasers on the market for treating periodontal disease. It effortlessly removes infected gums, encourages reattachment, and lessens the bacterial load in your mouth.
For dentists, the CO2 dental laser allows for more control, and precision, and offers a variety of options for treatment. It even includes a built-in digital feedback system.
With our CO2 dental laser, we can perform a variety of treatments on your gums and restore your gum health to the best possible level, all with ease and efficiency.
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is one of the newest developments in laser dentistry in the past decade. We use the DIAGNOdent dental laser to help us find potential weak areas in your teeth or other hidden health issues. With this early detection, we can be proactive, preventing instead of treating big dental issues.
If a cavity has already started to form, this laser will allow Dr. West to preserve more of your natural tooth and make fillings last longer. Ultimately DIAGNOdent decreases the chance of tooth sensitivity since it catches issues before they cause symptoms. Treating a tooth so early can give you a stronger, healthier tooth armed with a treatment to help it resist future problems.
Laser Diode
Laser diodes are remarkably versatile. Our soft-tissue laser diode enables Dr. Johns to make precision slits in the gum tissue, eliminates bleeding during treatment, and reduces healing time. Our diode lasers also help Dr. Johns in sterilizing root canals and treating periodontal and gum disease.
For our patients, the laser diode allows a more comfortable dental visit with a reduced healing time, so they can get back to enjoying their lives!
Benefits of Laser-Dentistry
Although we love the way laser dentistry helps us in the treatment process, we love the benefits for patients even more! Laser dentistry can:
Promote healing
Our CO2 lasers assist in the reattachment of damaged gums back to the tooth after a periodontal disease treatment. This is called LANAP.
Shorten recovery times
Because laser treatments automatically sterilize the area they are working in, there is less damage to the gums, resulting in quick healing.
Offer painless treatments
Laser treatments, even if we create an incision, are painless. You can’t feel the laser working.
Help us diagnose accurately
Information from our DIAGNOdent laser allows us to provide quick and accurate diagnoses.
