With more than 40 years of combined experience,
Dental Care of Corona has the expertise to provide you with the best dental
care whether you need to replace your silver amalgam fillings or require
extensive restorative dental treatment.
Laser Dentistry involves the use of a
soft-tissue laser that takes the guesswork out of identifying tooth decay. In
the past, your dentist had to resort to painful prodding and poking in order to
identify a cavity, as tooth decay can hide on the back molars and along the
fissure lines.
Lasers are used for a variety of dental
procedures include gum reshaping if periodontal disease is detected. Laser
Dentistry can also help with root canal procedures and are used to remove tooth
decay and for tooth whitening.
These days your dentist can use Laser
Dentistry in Corona using a Diagnodent, which is revolutionary in detecting
cavities making your dental checkup, fast, easy, and most importantly,
painless.
Laser Dentistry can also be used to recontour
your gum line, remove lesions that look suspicious for biopsy and treat
contaminated gum pockets. Laser Dentistry in Corona is also used for fever
blisters and canker sores.
According to Web MD, Laser Dentistry has been
used since 1994 after being approved by the FDA. The lasers that your dentist
uses are different from cold lasers that are often used to treat inflammation
and pain.
Dental Lasers deliver energy, and when used
for dental procedures vaporize the tissue. If your dentist is using a dental
laser to fill a tooth, the laser helps strengthen and harden the material that
sits between your tooth and the filling. When your dentist uses a laser for
tooth whitening, the laser enhances the tooth-bleaching product while acting as
a heat source.
Laser Dentistry often reduces the need for an
anesthetic as Laser Dentistry may cause the patient less pain. Patients who
have a fear of the dentist can also benefit with the use of Laser Dentistry as it
helps reduce anxiety. Laser Dentistry can minimize swelling and bleeding,
especially during soft tissue dental treatments and can help your dentist
preserve the healthy part of your tooth if a dental filling is required.
