Laser Treatments

At Friedler Dental Group, your trusted Old Saybrook dentist, we are proud to offer advanced laser dental treatments as part of our commitment to providing cutting-edge care.

Laser dentistry is a revolutionary approach to various dental procedures, offering precision, comfort, and faster healing. Whether you're seeking treatment for gum disease, tooth decay, or other dental issues, our laser technology ensures you receive the best care with minimal discomfort and downtime.

What Is Laser Dental Treatment?

Laser dental treatment involves the use of focused light beams to perform dental procedures with high precision. The laser technology allows dentists to target specific areas of the mouth, reducing the need for traditional tools such as drills and scalpels.

What Procedures Can Laser Dental Treatments Be Used For?

Laser dentistry can be applied in a variety of dental treatments, including:

  • Gum Disease Treatment: Lasers are highly effective for treating gum disease by removing infected tissue and promoting the regeneration of healthy gum tissue.
  • Cavity Removal and Fillings: Lasers can precisely remove decayed portions of the tooth, reducing the need for anesthesia and making the procedure less invasive.
  • Teeth Whitening: Laser technology can accelerate teeth whitening by activating the whitening agents applied to the teeth, leading to faster and more noticeable results.
  • Soft Tissue Procedures: Lasers can be used to reshape gums, remove excess gum tissue, or treat soft tissue lesions in a minimally invasive way.
  • Root Canal Therapy: Lasers can help sterilize the area and remove bacteria during root canal treatments, promoting faster healing.

Benefits of Laser Dental Treatment

Laser dental treatments offer numerous benefits compared to traditional dental methods:

  • Minimized Discomfort: The precision of lasers often eliminates the need for anesthesia, and patients experience less pain during and after the procedure.
  • Reduced Bleeding and Swelling: Lasers can coagulate blood vessels during the procedure, reducing bleeding and minimizing post-operative swelling.
  • Faster Healing: Due to the minimal invasiveness of laser treatments, patients experience faster recovery times and a smoother post-treatment experience.
  • Lower Risk of Infection: The laser sterilizes the treatment area, reducing the likelihood of infection after the procedure.
  • Reduced Anxiety: With no vibrations or loud drilling sounds, laser treatments are much less stressful for patients who experience dental anxiety.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Dental Treatment?

Laser dental treatments suit many patients, but the best candidates are those seeking a minimally invasive and comfortable treatment option. Patients who experience anxiety about traditional dental procedures, those with sensitive gums, or those looking for quicker recovery times may benefit greatly from laser dentistry.

However, not all dental conditions can be treated with lasers. During your consultation with your Old Saybrook dentist, we will evaluate your specific needs and determine if laser treatment is the best option for you.
