Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers numerous benefits to our patients, including increased comfort, efficiency, and reduced healing time. Dr. Dowell uses a soft-tissue and a hard-tissue laser to perform procedures ranging from gum treatments to tooth preparation.
Lasers have transformed the dental and medical fields by offering minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional cut-and-sew surgery. The laser’s concentrated light energy reacts with precision and predictability when it contacts the body’s hard or soft tissues. Laser light is extremely efficient, as well, producing virtually no heat or vibrations as it comes in contact with its target. This makes it ideal for surgical procedures, because the laser allows the doctor precise control over the depth and extent of cutting. Lasers also minimize bleeding and sterilize the treated area.
Dr. Dowell often uses laser dentistry for the following applications:
- Hardening dental materials
- Scanning teeth for decay (DIAGNOdent)
- Preparing teeth
- Activating whitening gel
- Treating gum disease
- Recontouring gum tissue
- Cleaning root canals
- Removing decay
- Cauterizing incisions
