Discover the Benefits of Laser Dentistry
- Safety: Lasers have been used in dentistry for a long time, although many dental practices have been slow to adopt this technology. You can feel confident in its track record.
- Comfort: Not only are lasers gentle, but they also eliminate or reduce your need for drills and needles. Because they are also silent, you should feel less anxious overall.
- Precision: Lasers allow Dr. Julie Jang to target specific areas with the utmost precision. In doing so, she can leave more healthy tissue intact.
- Shorter recovery: When you undergo a laser procedure, your recovery tends to be much quicker than for other dental procedures. This is true in part because it leaves healthy tissue intact, but also because lasers can help promote tissue regeneration. You should have minimal bleeding and swelling after laser dentistry.
Laser Dental Treatments and Laser Gum Treatments We Offer
Lasers represent a huge leap forward in the field of not just dentistry – but also periodontistry. Periodontic treatment is concerned with the health of your gums, and poor gum health can lead to a variety of dental health issues.
Perio Protect
Dr. Julie Jang is an official Perio Protect Provider. This innovative treatment uses a medicated formula that can reach deep within the gums to kill bacteria that brushing and flossing cannot reach. At your appointment, Dr. Julie Jang takes digital images that are sent to a lab to create customized trays for your mouth. Once the trays are ready, Dr. Julie Jang develops a treatment schedule for you to follow at home to minimize the number of trips you need to make to our office.
After using Perio Protect, you will not only have healthier gums with less bleeding, but you should also notice that your breath smells better and your teeth look whiter — that’s because the medicated solution includes hydrogen peroxide, which also brightens your teeth. Many patients can avoid periodontal surgery with this treatment, while others use it after surgery to maintain good gum health.
Laser Bacterial Reduction
Laser bacterial reduction (LBR) is a laser gum treatment that Harmony Family Dentistry has incorporated as part of the pre-cleaning routine at the beginning of your biannual appointment. LBR uses laser energy to kill bacteria on and under the gums. Believe it or not, bacteria can spread easily to other areas of the gums during a standard cleaning, so this dramatically decreases the chances of your hygienist transporting bacteria from one area of your gums to another. Beyond that, destroying the bacteria also keeps your gums cleaner.
Laser Curretage
Another popular laser periodontal treatment is laser curettage. This therapy is ideal for patients with moderate to advanced-stage gum disease. Laser energy can gently kill clusters of bacteria trapped within your gums. It is highly effective at reducing the pockets in your gums. Laser treatment is gentler than surgical options and promotes better tissue regeneration so that you can maintain healthy gums.
