Gum Disease No Match For Laser Precision

Gum disease, a common dental issue affecting millions, can cause discomfort, pain, and potential tooth loss. Laser technology offers a minimally invasive, highly accurate approach to treating gum disease. The process involves using a soft tissue laser, which precisely targets infected or inflamed gum tissue. This focused energy not only removes the disease but also encourages the regeneration of healthy gum tissue.

The benefits of laser dentistry in gum disease treatment are numerous. It reduces bleeding and discomfort during and after the procedure, minimizes the need for anesthesia, and accelerates the healing process. Patients can expect quicker recovery times and improved oral health outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A. Lasers at our Queens, NY practice can be used for:

Gum disease treatment and contouring
Cavity detection and decay removal
Soft tissue reshaping
Gum infection treatment
Certain cosmetic procedures (like smoothing gum lines)

This technology often reduces bleeding and need for anesthesia.

Q. Is laser dentistry less painful than traditional dental tools?

A. Yes. Laser dentistry often causes less pain and discomfort than conventional instruments, which means many patients require little to no anesthesia during their laser procedures. Faster healing and reduced swelling are additional benefits.

Q. How long is the recovery after a laser dental treatment?

A. Recovery time is typically quicker than traditional methods because laser procedures are less invasive and promote healthier tissue healing. Most patients return to daily activities with minimal downtime.

Q. Is laser dentistry safe and effective?

A. Absolutely. Laser dentistry is a proven technology used for decades in both soft and hard tissue procedures. Our team is trained in CO₂, soft tissue, and hard tissue laser applications to ensure safe, precise treatments for Queens patients.

Q. Can lasers be used for gum disease treatment?

A. Yes. Soft tissue lasers allow precise targeting and removal of infected gum tissue, promoting healthier gums with less bleeding and swelling than traditional gum surgery.

Q. Is laser dentistry suitable for children?

A. In many cases, yes. Because laser treatments are gentle and often require less anesthesia or drilling, many pediatric patients tolerate these procedures well. Your dentist at Breezy Point Smiles can assess if laser dentistry is appropriate for your child’s needs.

Soft Tissue Laser

Nowadays, many procedures involving the gums are performed using a soft-tissue laser. We can use the energy from the laser to excise unneeded or infected tissue while also sterilizing the area to prevent bacteria from causing any more damage. Many patients prefer soft tissue lasers over traditional instruments because they cause very little discomfort; the mouth often doesn’t need to be numbed at all, and there is very little if any bleeding to worry about afterwards.

Hard Tissue Laser

In addition to lasers for sterilizing and removing soft tissues, we also have lasers that are designed specifically for hard tissue – namely your teeth and bones. We often use our hard tissue lasers to prepare teeth for filling placement. We can remove the decayed parts of the tooth without damaging the rest of the enamel, and the lack of pain means there is no need for us to use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth for such procedures.

Co2 Laser

CO2 lasers have been used in dentistry for more than 25 years. They can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including soft tissue treatments around dental implants and the removal of gum tissue that has become infected as a result of gum disease. The laser energy is generated using carbon dioxide, and it is set at a wavelength that vaporizes the water found in soft tissue, allowing for quick, efficient cutting.
