Laser Dentistry
Laser is an amazing magical wand that has revolutionized dentistry with its unparalleled ability to provide the ultimate patient comfort by vanishing pain!”
We, the doctors at Kamala Dental, routinely use lasers for therapeutic and surgical procedures inside and around the mouth, keeping it bloodless and painless, with faster healing.
Deep Dental is equipped with the world’s soft tissue laser unit — Dentsply Sirona from Germany. Laser-assisted cosmetic fillings, laser-assisted root canal treatments, laser gum surgeries, and laser teeth whitening are commonly done laser procedures.
Benefits of lasers over conventional surgical methods:
- Lasers have the ability to seal blood vessels (haemostasis)
- Lasers seal lymphatic vessels and decrease post-surgical swelling.
- Lasers seal nerve fibers reducing post-operative pain.
- There is reduced tooth preparation without the use of drills.
- The bacterial count is reduced thereby promoting healing and minimizing post-operative inflammation.
- There is less scarring and greater precision because of monochromic coherence qualities.
The usage of lasers in dentistry are as follows:
- Excisional and incisional biopsies
- Exposure of unerupted teeth
- Fibroma removal
- Frenectomy
- Frenotomy
- Gingival troughing for crown impressions
- Gingivectomy
- Gingivoplasty
- Gingival incision and excision
- Hemostasis and coagulation
- Incision and drainage of abscess
- Leukoplakia
- Operculectomy
- Oral papillectomies
- Pulpotomy
- Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy
- Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
- Soft tissue crown lengthening
- Treatment of canker sores, herpetic and aphthous ulcers of the oral mucosa
- Vestibuloplasty
Laser Periodontal Procedures – LANAP
Laser Periodontal Therapy (LANAP) is a laser-based technique for treating periodontal disease with lasers. Laser Periodontal Therapy is a remarkable advancement in the treatment of periodontal disease. If you’ve been told you need gum surgery or have periodontal disease, this new technology eliminates the need for cutting the gum tissue with a scalpel and the need for stitches. This means a quicker recovery with less bleeding, preserving gum tissue and reducing root exposure and sensitivity.
Laser Assisted Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)
One of the most significant advantages of laser dentistry is its ability to sterilize the area. Hundreds of studies have shown that lasers can sterilize root canals. The majority of root canal failures are caused by insufficient tissue removal from the canals. When used for cleaning and sterilization within the canals, the laser burns away any remaining tissue, increasing the success of root canal treatments. We have extensive experience and a high success rate in laser assisted root canal sterilization.
