Laser Enhanced Dentistry

Experience Dental Treatments with Laser-enhanced Dentistry

Have you ever heard of laser dentistry? It may sound like a futuristic concept, but it’s actually available at Hindman Family Dentistry in Sioux City, Iowa. Dr. Joshua Hindman uses lasers instead of other invasive dental techniques in several treatments including periodontal care. Lasers use a concentrated beam of light energy to clean, cut, and shape soft and hard tissues.

Laser dentistry explained

Laser dentistry uses a small device that emits a narrow but concentrated beam of light energy. The laser is powerful enough to cut or vaporize the target tissue immediately on contact. The laser beam cauterizes during treatment, which keeps bleeding at a minimum and makes the procedure less traumatic. 

Soft tissue lasers work on soft tissues like the gums. We can use soft tissue lasers to remove excess tissue and reshape your gums for cosmetic and restorative treatments. Soft tissues reduce the need for anesthesia shots.

Applications of laser dentistry

Dental lasers have safely been used in dentistry since their FDA approval in 1990. Laser dentistry is taking dental treatments by storm because of its conservative nature and high success rate. 

The many uses of dental lasers in dentistry include:

  • Gum disease treatment
  • Gum contouring to fix a gummy smile
  • Treating cold and canker sores
  • Exposing wisdom teeth
  • Sanitizing your tooth to prepare for a root canal
Dentistry doesn’t have to provoke anxiety and dread. Thanks to laser dentistry, you can now enjoy comfortable dentistry without scalpels. Lasers cut and reshape tissues using light, making them less invasive. This way, laser dentistry takes the dread out of dentistry, allowing patients to get the dental care they need.

Benefits of laser dentistry

Dental lasers are so precise, enabling the dentist to narrow in on diseased tissues without damaging the adjacent healthy tissues. Besides precise treatment, the other benefits of laser dentistry include:

  • Reduced noise, vibrations, and pressure during treatment
  • Faster healing time
  • Faster tissue regeneration
  • Reduced risk of infection after treatment

Now that you have seen the handy benefits of laser dentistry, you definitely want an office offering this revolutionary treatment. Hindman Family Dentistry is committed to using the latest dental technologies to provide safe, faster, and comfortable dentistry.
