Pingree Smile Center – Laser Dentistry

Here at Pingree Smile Center, we strive to continue to learn and keep up with the latest technologies that improve the quality of care we’re able to provide for patients of all ages. We are always looking for ways to improve our patients’ level of comfort and clinical care. We are thrilled to announce that we’re adding Dental Laser Treatment options for all of our patients.

Soft Tissue Laser uses laser energy to perform a variety of soft tissue dental procedures. Laser technology allows us to perform variety of soft tissue procedures with better precision, no use of scalpels, decreased pain, bleeding time and faster healing times. Studies have shown that laser dentistry can be far less traumatic than other instruments, especially for young apprehensive patients. .

Some of the advantages of Laser Dentistry over conventional dental instruments are:

•    Your comfort: Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of traditional instruments. Since the laser cuts soft tissue without heat, vibration or pressure, we can perform many procedures with fewer shots and less anesthesia
•    Accuracy & Precision & reduced trauma: A highly focused laser beam allows us to treat a specific area without damaging surrounding tissues
•    Fewer Visits Required: Since most dental procedures can be performed without anesthetizing the patient, the laser technology allows us to perform more dental procedures in each setting and hence, reduces the number of visits required to complete restorative dental work for all of our patients.
•    Less bleeding & swelling: Laser performs many soft tissue procedures with little or no bleeding and less post- operative swelling

As always, feel free to ask any of your Pingree Grove dentists regarding any concerns or questions you may have about dental laser treatments.
