A Painless Dental Experience
By performing laser dental treatments, we can eliminate the common reasons why people are uncomfortable during dental procedures – heat, pressure, and vibration. Once eliminated, many people do not even need anesthesia. That is why we can often complete fillings without our patients requesting an injection. Additionally, laser technology allows us to more accurately target specific areas of your mouth.
Benefits Of Using Lasers In Dentistry
Here are some of the other benefits associated with laser dentistry:
-
Faster healing and tissue regeneration.
-
Preservation of more of the natural tooth.
-
Reduced bleeding during and after treatment.
-

Reduced risk of bacterial infections after procedures.
Effective Endodontic Treatments
Markham Dental Corner strives for dental excellence in every area of our practice. We provide our patients with an unparalleled level of care by staying up to date with the latest knowledge and technologies. Laser dentistry, is one way we are able to do this.
Implantology
For patients who are receiving implants, these lasers can help the treatments be stable and immobile, which is important for a successful implant. The precision and high-speed nature of the devices makes it ideal in the treatment of peri-implantitis.
TMJ dysfunction is typically related to the constricted blood supply to the jaw and surrounding muscles. When this happens cellular waste buildup prevents oxygen from reaching cells so the healing process can begin. When this doesn’t happen inflammation worsens. TMJ therapy is precisely targeted using light energy for deep penetration of tissue surrounding the temporomandibular joint and the joint itself often providing instant relief including relief from symptoms such as headaches.
Teeth Whitening
Laser teeth whitening is growing in popularity because of it’s quick, dramatic in-office results. The treatment begins with bleach being applied to each tooth, following the application of laser heat to promote treatment effectiveness and efficiency. This procedure uses a strong bleaching gel that the laser activates so patients can leave the office with the results they want. To find out if you are a candidate for laser teeth whitening, a consultation is needed. Call today and learn how we can help.
Oral Surgeries
The laser can be a useful treatment modality for obtaining biopsy specimens without tissue destruction. Laser is effective in the treatment of ulcerative conditions like aphthous ulcer, infections etc Laser is a viable alternative to the scalpel for various soft tissue procedures such as a frenectomy, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, de-epithelization of reflected periodontal flaps, removal of granulation tissue and crown lengthening.
Orthodontic Treatment
Lasers are widely used in Orthodontics for aesthetic gingival
recontouring, soft tissue crown lengthening, exposure of soft-tissue over the impacted teeth, removal of inflamed and hypertrophic tissue, frenectomy in case of highly attached frenum causing hindrance to tooth movement in diastema cases, tissue removal at the site for mini screw and Low-Level Laser Therapy for a reduction in pain experienced during the orthodontic therapy.
Laser surgery is considered a useful tool for the clinician in performing frenectomy. A diode laser frenectomy may be performed without infiltrated anesthesia with the optimum healing post surgery.
Crown Lengthening
Lasers have been promoted for clinical crown lengthening without gingival flap reflection for both esthetic and prosthetic reasons.
Faster Recovery
Laser Dentistry eliminates the use of drills and scalpels in many dental procedures, which also reduces the need for anesthesia. Even biopsies and cavity fillings are made painless with laser dentistry! All procedures are performed with pinpoint accuracy to protect the surrounding tissues, and there are no stitches to care for afterwards. As an added bonus, lasers sterilize as they go, which reduces the risk of painful bacterial infections.
Laser treatments rely on delivering energy in the form of light that is taken in by the body through absorption. The laser also promotes accelerated healing of damaged tissue as lasers destroying bacteria and stimulating tissue regeneration.
