Benefits of Laser Dentistry
The benefits of using a Solea CO2 laser that is approved by the FDA are many. In fact, many patients appreciate that it serves as a viable alternative to traditional methods that often left children (and adults) remaining fearful of the dentist’s office and undergoing any type of dental surgery. Now that we use a Solea laser, patients can expect:
- Greater precision and accuracy
- A pain-free approach
- A faster way of completing surgery
- Minor bleeding and swelling
- Effective cauterization, which allows for a reduced possibility of infection as well as minimal bleeding
- Little-to-no noise or vibration
- Faster healing times
Fillings
To treat a patient’s dental cavity, one might assume that extensive treatment is needed to fix the problem. However, with the Solea CO2 dental laser, it is no longer a lengthy or arduous process. Instead, the fast-acting light works to vaporize the infected tissue without any vibration or noise. One of the greatest advantages of the laser is that because it is fast, it creates a numbing effect without having to use needles. And it creates an environment that reduces the chances of future cavities forming.
Frenuloplasties & Frenectomies
When the tissue located underneath the tongue or behind the upper lip is restricted and prevents proper feeding, it’s usually because a child has a lip or tongue tie. Commonly manifesting at birth and disrupting their ability to nurse, many parents notice the issue early on. However, common symptoms may not develop until later in life. Fortunately, our Solea laser can help to perform a frenuloplasty or frenectomy – two procedures that not only allow for optimal oral function but also a better quality of life for the child.
Mucocele Removals
No matter how they form, mucocele cysts can be left behind after a sudden injury to the mouth. Whether caused by a kickball to the face or accidentally biting one’s lip, our Solea laser can remove the mucocele cyst in such a way that patients require no anesthesia and do not suffer from immense bleeding and swelling.
Removal of Fibromas
Surprisingly, tissue tags are common inside the mouth. Also referred to as fibromas, they can cause much irritation if left untreated. This is why it is best to use a Solea laser to remove these growths, allowing patients to feel much more comfortable and confident. Although recovery might take a few days for complete healing, the process will be much swifter than if traditional dental instruments were used to perform the procedure.
Bacterial Reduction
Our Solea laser isn’t just great for the removal of cysts and tooth decay, but it also targets infected gum tissue caused by a bacterial infection. When poor oral hygiene is the reason for bleeding and inflamed gums, it’s likely that gingivitis has set in. Without proper treatment, the symptoms can worsen and lead to periodontitis and more advanced treatment. However, with the Solea laser, a pediatric dentist in Allen can use the concentrated beam of light to target the problem tissues, leaving all healthy gum areas untouched.
