What Is A Diode Laser?

The diode soft tissue laser is a breakthrough in periodontal therapy. Many procedures are possible that greatly reduce the discomfort of patients. Healing time is greatly reduced and bleeding is eliminated in many procedures. Diode Laser Dentistry can be used for many types of dental procedures including:
Non-Surgical Treatment of Periodontal Disease
Shortens the Duration of Cold Sores and Canker Sores
Desensitizing Teeth with Recession
Gingival Pocket Reduction

The diode laser also eliminates uncomfortable procedures associated with dental impressions and improves the final restorative outcome while saving time!

Why Laser Perio Treatment

Lasers have been used for many years to provide better care for their patients. Examples of laser treatment are: LASIK vision correction, removal of skin blemishes, and in other surgical procedures. Now with Diode Laser Dentistry it is possible for you to take advantage of this technology.

We have chosen to invest in this Diode Laser to provide you with the highest standard of dental care. Here are some of the benefits you will experience:

MORE COMFORTABLE

Diode Laser Dentistry uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures without the healing time or bleeding associated with a scalpel. With many procedures it is possible to use less anesthetic and often times no anesthetic at all.

MORE CONVENIENT

Diode Laser procedures are often more effective since there is minimal discomfort following procedures, and they are very effective in comparison to scalpel surgery with an very minimal post-op discomfort.

LESS BLEEDING AND SWELLING

Due to its conservative, gentle cutting action and coagulating capabilities, the Diode Laser performs many procedures on the gums with little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.

Is Diode Laser Safe

Diode Laser Dentistry is one of the most advanced dental technologies available today. It was developed by BIOLASE Technology, the leader in dental lasers. BIOLASE dental lasers have been used to treat millions of patients.

Laser dentistry creates special, highly concentrated non-ionizing radiation, and sends it through an optical fiber to its handpiece. Your dentist or hygienest uses the handpiece to aim the laser energy at soft tissues precisely in the areas to be treated. Some laser systems combine the laser energy with a gentle spray of water.
Diode Laser Dentistry was developed specifically to treat gums and other soft tissues in the mouth safely and comfortably. It can be harmful to eyes, however, so anyone in the treatment room when the laser is being used must wear special wavelength specific protective glasses.

HOW IT WORKS

The Diode Laser targets specific diseased tissue only with non-ionizing radiation. This does not affect healthy tissue. Treatment greatly reduces harmful bacteria and it restores your gums back to optimal health!
