Laser Dentistry History

Some patients who come into our Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods Laser Dentistry facility think they’re about to get the benefit of a brand new technology. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the technology has been used since 1994 to treat a wide variety of dental issues.

The American Dental Association has even been studying this technology as a viable choice for people who don’t want to go the more traditional route. We have a number of different treatment options at our Laser Dentistry clinic. These include:

Some of the more traditional treatments. Treating tooth decay is one of the options that more and more doctors are using with lasers.
Teeth Whitening. Lasers are also being used in the cosmetic field. Many practices today are using this process so that they can make an in-office teeth whitening treatment easy.
Lasers are also currently being used as a way to take off small pieces of tissue for biopsies.

Our Laser Dentistry team understands that lasers can be really productive and cost efficient when they are used for gum surgery. When it comes to treating different types of gum disease, using lasers is less invasive than other more traditional techniques.

Our technique using this latest innovation means that you won’t need to go under general anesthetic for any kind of gum surgery. There’s less bleeding and the added bonus of a quick recovery time. We’ve gone out of our way to cover all the bases when it comes to laser surgery.

We’ve got all the research necessary and have the right skill set. Quite often, interested patients want to know how these lasers work. The ones we use deliver energy in a concentrated beam of light. The laser can cut through bad tissue with little discomfort.

The Advantages

Of course, there are a number of advantages to using this type of innovation. At the top of the list is the fact lasers can lessen people’s dental anxiety. Too often, we see patients come in who have been neglecting their regular visits because they have an nervous issue. Once they understand how our lasers work, that problem generally goes away.

Here’s another bonus about using this technology that not everyone knows about. Lasers can help save more of a healthy tooth when they are used to combat decay and cavities. Why not contact our Laser Dentistry services today?
