Laser Dentistry Centre In Brandon, FL

Types of Brandon, FL laser dentistry:

Different lasers are designed for specific materials in the mouth that they are designed to shape or cut according to the specific procedure.

• Hard tissue lasers are greatly absorbable by hydroxyapatite, an element found in both bones and teeth, and are used in procedures such as detecting cavities, removing cavities, curing tooth sensitivity, and sculpting teeth.
• Soft tissue lasers are greatly absorbable by water and hemoglobin, elements commonly found in red blood cells, and are used in procedures such as cosmetic gum surgery, crown lengthening, soft tissue detachment, healing mouth sores, and reaching impacted teeth.

What laser dentistry has the ability to treat:

While most procedures involving lasers are related to the gums, lasers can also complete procedures that previously required drills, curettes, or scalers including:

• Gum reshaping
• Putting holes in teeth
• Treating root canal infections
• Treating gum disease
• Removing gum inflation
• Removing material from teeth
• Biopsies on teeth or gums
• Exposing wisdom teeth
• Canker sore and cold sore pain treatments
• Expediting teeth whitening procedures

Water laser dentistry:

Brandon, FL water laser dentistry uses a combination of water, air, and laser energy to safely use inside the human mouth. The laser extracts water found naturally in our teeth to cut through the tooth while simultaneously spraying the tooth with water to keep the tooth fully hydrated and pain-free.

What to expect from a laser dentistry appointment:

During the procedure, the patient will experience less noise, vibrations, and discomfort from laser-like they would from a drill. After the procedure, the patient will not have to recover from an open, bleeding wound as they would experience from a procedure with a scalpel or scalers.
