No longer are lasers confined to galactic space battles and other science fiction blockbusters. In fact, modern medicine has allowed varying versions of that technology to be harnessed for use in reality and the advancement of certain procedures.
Dentistry is one of the many fields to benefit from these scientific advancements. One of the latest innovations to come from this is the Solea dental laser, a revolutionary tool that completely changes the game of dental procedures.
Just what are the benefits of using lasers in dentistry? That’s what we’re here to tell you! Read on to discover three reasons you should consider laser dentistry.
Pain-Free Dentistry
Because Solea utilizes a unique wavelength that is guided by advanced computers, its precision is uncanny. This leads to a reduction in the pain experienced during a procedure—a reduction so dramatic that many patients feel no pain at all.
Accompanying this elimination of pain is the possibility of blood-free and anesthesia-free procedures. The benefits of this possibility are numerous. There’s an obvious decrease in discomfort along with a reduction of time spent at the dentist’s office.
Multiple Procedures, One Session
Pain-free, blood-free, and anesthesia-free dental procedures mean that more work can be done more quickly. Also, Solea is FDA-approved for use on both hard and soft tissue (teeth and gums, for example), meaning that a single tool can be used for multiple procedures.
Undergoing more than one procedure in one sitting, especially when they are virtually pain-free, means less time spent in the chair, fewer return visits, and a smaller window for healing. In other words, you’ll be out of the office and back to your normal life in a fraction of the time associated with traditional dental methods!
Laser Dentistry is Less Invasive and More Comfortable
Hand-in-hand with the dramatic reduction in pain comes the near-elimination of discomfort associated with traditional dental drills. Laser dentistry is virtually noise and vibration free, effectively making those uncomfortable—and annoying—elements of dental procedures a thing of the past.
Laser Dentistry allows procedures to be performed in a less invasive way, which drastically reduces the recovery time needed after a visit to the dentist. Imagine this: no persistent numbness! You could have dental work performed in the morning, then head directly to lunch or to work that same day.
