What is Laser Dental Treatment and What to Expect from it?

  • Dr. Mark H Wright

Laser Dental Treatments in Colorado Springs Colorado Area

A while back, there were limited options for treating dental problems like periodontitis. Thanks to science, today, we have numerous state-of-the-art technologies in dentistry. One such ground-breaking treatment is laser dental treatment. 

But what is laser dentistry? If you have never come across this term, today is the time to learn. Laser dental treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special light to treat dental issues, including oral surgery, dental cavities, and other oral problems. Need to find out more? Please book an appointment with Mark H. Wright, DDS, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to get more insights into the procedure. 

Laser dentistry explained

Medical personnel uses laser dentistry to alter or remove tissues. While laser treatment isn’t limited to dentistry only, dentists use this treatment to perform different procedures inside your mouth. From reshaping gums, trimming over-grown tissues to whitening teeth, laser treatment is quickly gaining popularity in the dentistry world.

What to expect during laser treatment

When you visit Dr. Mark Wright, you will realize that laser dental treatment is as smooth as other routine dental appointments like teeth cleaning. Dr. Wright will initially perform a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for laser dentistry. If he determines laser treatment is in your best interests, he will administer a small amount of anesthesia.

You won’t feel any discomfort or vibrations during the procedure as you would expect from a drill. All you will expect is your mouth to be propped open as your doctor uses lasers to treat your tissues.

Expect the post-recovery period to be smoother than the typical dental procedures. Since laser treatments don’t use a scalpel, there will be minimal breeding at the surgery site. So, when you get home, don’t expect an open wound that requires significant after-care. All you need is to observe a proper cleaning routine to avoid infections.

What can laser dentistry treat?

Besides reshaping gums and teeth whitening, the versatile nature of laser dentistry enables the procedure to treat many conditions, including:

  • Root canal infections
  • Gum diseases
  • Removing tissue inflammation
  • Exposing wisdom teeth
  • Removing benign tumors
  • Conducting biopsy
  • Treating canker or cold sores

Benefits of laser dental treatment

If you are about to undergo laser dentistry, you will gain so much with no pain. Here are the benefits you will accrue from the procedure.

  • Faster healing since the procedure catalyzes the synthesis of collagen that stimulates tissue regeneration
  • The infection rate is lower since the laser sterilizes the surgery site
  • It’s pain-free such that some procedures don’t need anesthesia
  • The procedure results in minimal blood since lasers promote blood clotting as the process is taking place
  • The treatment is less invasive to adjacent tissues
  • Patients don’t require sutures in most cases

If you are concerned about the safety of laser dentistry, don’t be. The FDA has declared that the procedure is safe and effective for treating numerous conditions.

COVID-19 Patient Safety Policy

To my valued patients,

After great deliberation, I have made the decision to close the office effective March 19th. We will continue to see patients this week, but as things continue to change rapidly, that date may change. I care deeply about all of you, as well as my team. In order to keep everyone healthy and safe, we will only be seeing patients on an emergency basis. I will always be available, and you may reach me on my cell phone for any emergency. If we had an appointment scheduled for you, and we haven’t been able to make contact, please call our office to reschedule.

You may reach us at dr.wright@markhwrightdds.com or call (719) 635-1622.

Thank you all for your understanding. We will see you as soon as we can.
