Many patients come to our office interested in laser dentistry. They want to learn about the benefits of laser dentistry.

Laser Dentistry Advantages

There are several applications for laser dentistry. Serving equally in cosmetic and general dental procedures, lasers offer numerous advantages including:

• Lasers cut and cauterize simultaneously - procedures performed with lasers do not generally require sutures
• Lasers can make procedures nearly pain free - many laser dental procedures do not require any anesthesia
• Lasers prohibit blood loss – high-energy light beams stimulate coagulation, reducing excessive bleeding
• Lasers prevent infection – the light from lasers prohibits the growth of bacteria
• Lasers are exact – the precision offered by a laser reduces damage to adjacent teeth and surrounding gum tissue
• Lasers reduce anxiety – for patients who have a fear of dental instruments and traditional procedures, lasers offer an ideal solution

Cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Folck has carefully selected the laser we use in our office. The state-of-the-art Odyssey® Diode Laser from Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc. is designed specifically for dental procedures and your comfort.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Folck can explain the laser technology we use, and help you decide if laser dentistry is right for you. With its wide range of capabilities and obvious benefits, laser dentistry is sure to become an increasingly popular choice in the years to come.
