Laser Dentistry
Although having the CEREC technology drastically increases
the on-site capabilities of a dental office, Dr. Lomire
did not stop there. The new facility also has a family
of lasers on site, each with varying wavelengths. Each
wavelength is used for different procedures ranging from
the removal of tooth decay to surgery and the modification
of soft tissue. By investing in five types of lasers, Dr.
Lomire has increased the opportunity to substitute traditional
methods of guest care with quicker and more guest friendly
laser technology.
With laser surgery, there is a reduced need for local anesthesia,
bleeding is minimized, swelling is controlled, and there
is usually little, if any, postoperative discomfort. Laser
energy also enhances the effect of tooth bleaching agents
for a faster and more effective result. Natural looking restorative
materials for teeth are more quickly cured to greater hardness.
Lasers that remove tooth decay are fast and seldom require
anesthesia. |
