Did you know that dental lasers can treat your smile? We use a Waterlase dental laser in our Tampa, FL, dental office to treat gum disease and more. The Waterlase dental laser uses a stream of water and a beam of laser energy to treat the teeth and gums.
Waterlase dental lasers can also provide more comfortable, precise treatment than traditional methods. Learn more about the benefits of lasers like Waterlase and how they can improve your dental care in our office.
Benefits of Dental Lasers in Tampa, FL
There are many benefits to treatment with modern dental lasers:
Painless and Relaxing Care
Unlike other surgical options, dental lasers do not require dental sedation because they are much less painful. Additionally, lasers do not create vibrations that can exacerbate patients’ pain and discomfort, unlike dental drills. In most cases, patients need only local anesthesia for laser treatment.
Patients with dental anxiety often benefit from laser dentistry because it is much quieter and less invasive. With dental lasers, we can provide treatments for patients that may have been intimidating before.
Precise Treatment
The Waterlase dental laser is handheld, with a small tip that targets precise areas of the smile. The laser also works at 100 pulses per second to remove gum tissue, decay, and bone. Unlike dental drills, dental lasers cause less damage to the surrounding bone and gum tissue. With a laser, we can provide more efficient care that only affects the parts of the smile that we need to treat.
Quick Healing Times
Dental lasers offer minimal swelling, bruising, and bleeding. As a result, dental laser treatment can lead to much faster healing. A dental laser can shorten healing times and help patients feel more comfortable during recovery. Laser dentistry is minimally invasive, which supports faster recovery.
