What is laser dentistry?

Laser dentistry is approved by the FDA for the treatment of several dental issues. This technological advancement has been used for over twenty years to treat certain tooth conditions. We utilize laser dentistry for its optimal precision in treating patients all while providing them comfort. Our dental experts have found that laser dentistry along with our other dental technologies have been heavily reliable in treating many patient’s teeth in the past and have granted virtually painless experiences.

How does laser dentistry work?

The lasers in our practice send energy through the form of light for precise treatment execution. Through this beam of light, the laser can remove or reshape designated tissue along with numerous other purposes. Consult with our staff to learn more about laser dentistry and if it may be the right treatment option for you!

What are some treatments laser dentistry is used for?
  • For an examination for cancer, lasers can help remove tiny pieces of tissue for biopsies
  • Laser dentistry can remove decay from teeth and prepare the enamel for fillings
  • After an application of a peroxide bleaching formula, lasers can help whiten teeth for a brighter smile
  • Lasers can help remove a great amount of bacteria and modify the shape of gums to treat gum disease
What are some benefits of laser dentistry?

One of the biggest pros of laser dentistry is that there is no use of traditional drills. Compared to drills, laser dentistry reduces the need for using anesthesia, minimizes bleeding and swelling caused from drilling, and can protect healthy teeth during a cavity extraction. Choosing laser dentistry also helps reduce anxiety in patients who are discomforted with the idea of dental drilling.

Two different kinds of periodontal disease:
  • Gingivitis is a minor irritation of the tissue that surrounds the teeth. This type of gum disease is treatable. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can escalate to periodontal disease.
  • Periodontal disease is an irreversible severe infection of bone, tissues, and supporting ligaments that surround teeth. If untreated, periodontal disease can spread throughout the mouth and can affect your overall health. This dangerous illness has been connected to cases of heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes.
What are some signs of periodontal disease?
  • Swollen or reddened gums
  • Consistent bad breath
  • Chewing has become painful
  • Teeth have grown sensitive
  • Gums begin to bleed
  • Gums feel tender
How is periodontal disease treated?

Our hygienic experts here at Stamford Dental Group are highly trained in treating all stages of gum disease. We offer our patients individualized non-surgical treatment options to best suit their dental health needs for treating periodontal illnesses. During your consultation, we will discuss with you your maintenance plan to garner the best possible results. For periodontal care, we’ve had great success with performing soft tissue laser therapy combined with localized prescriptions that can help alleviate symptoms at the treatment site.

Will my treatment plan be similar to anyone else’s?

Each patient’s maintenance plan will be created to best treat their individual periodontal needs. Depending on each patient’s periodontal health will determine the best course of action to take to enhance their dental well-being. Treatment plans can span over an interval of 2 or more months based on the severity of their condition. We may also advise you to use several different brushes, fluoride rinses, and vitamins to help strengthen your oral health.

Gingivitis has been a recurring condition in a high percentage of American adults. Catching early signs of periodontal disease and preventing it from growing in severity is our mission. If you are concerned about a possible indication of gum disease, contact us today to schedule a consultation appointment and find out how we can enhance your oral health.
