Your Laser Dentistry Options
Let’s take a look at a few of your laser dentistry options in Greensboro.
Laser dentistry procedures are one of the fastest growing areas in both general and cosmetic dentistry. The use of lasers in dentistry is relatively new, but their proven safety and effectiveness has given Graham Farless, DDS the ability to provide his patients with a less invasive solution to a wide variety issues they face.
What Is Waterlase Dentistry?
Waterlase Dentistry uses a patented combination of laser energy and water—a process called HydroPhotonics. Lasers have been the standard of care for many surgical and cosmetic procedures such as hair removal, LASIK, and wrinkle removal. The Waterlase was approved more than ten years ago for hard tissue procedures and has been cleared for numerous additional dental procedures since then.
Benefits of Waterlase Dentistry
– Fewer Dental Visits! Since you may not need shots or anesthesia, Dr. Farless may be able to perform cavity preparations in several areas of your mouth at one visit.
– Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
– Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
– Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
– Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.
– Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
– Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
