Are Lasers safe?
Diode lasers have been used in dentistry
for over twenty years. Each year, they
are improved upon with more
sophisticated technology. Dental lasers
are also required to comply with
international safety regulations. You
will be provided with required safety
glasses before any laser procedure. They
are specially designed to protect your
eyes for added peace of mind.
What are the benefits?
Laser
dentistry has a number of benefits, but
one of the most important is patient
comfort. No one likes to get shots, or
have sore gums and teeth. Since most
patients do not need anesthesia, there
are no painful shots or numb lips
afterward. The NV Microlaser® actually
aids in the clotting of exposed blood
vessels, which means less bleeding and
less post-operative swelling. This also
reduces overall healing time, as well as
the need for pain medication.
The
NV Microlaser® is also used to promote
gingival health by reducing periodontal
pockets. Before, this usually required
gum surgery; with laser dentistry, there
is no need for painful stitches or
sutures. Other patients feel they have a
“gummy” smile or that their teeth look
too short. Laser dentistry allows your
dentist to reshape the gums with little
trauma to this sensitive area of the
mouth. The end result is teeth that
appear longer, making your smile more
attractive.
It is clear that
laser dentistry has become the ideal
choice for patients – 97% of people who
have had NV Microlaser® treatment would
recommend it to their friends and
family! Do you live in or around
