Our team wants to help you smile with confidence and enjoy relief from issues like cold and canker sores. To do so, we can offer advanced laser treatments! In today’s blog, your Rochester, MN, dentist talks about the benefits of our dental lasers, and how we can use them to address an array of oral health concerns with precision and comfort.
The Biolase Epic Hygiene™ Diode
This advanced dental laser system has been specially calibrated to comfortably and effectively handle soft tissue concerns, offering a number of benefits over traditional treatments with scalpels and sutures. They are designed to treat issues with precision to prevent damage to healthy gum and bone structure. Lack of scalpels and sutures means the area heals much quicker, with treatment requiring only one visit and people returning to their normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours. The technology also limits the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection following care. The procedure is also comfortable, with treatment rarely requiring the use of dental anesthesia or sedation. Essentially, we can offer treatment for a host of issues with comfort and precision, so you can return to your normal activities in a much shorter time frame.
Cold Sores and Periodontal Concerns
What treatments can we offer with our dental lasers? Well, our team can help shrink cold and canker sores, as the lasers target and destroy the virus behind these issues, so the sores disappear much faster than if left alone or treated with medicated ointments. If you have gingivitis or gum disease, the laser can target and detour pickets of harmful bacteria to help reverse gingivitis and address the early stages of the disease. In the more advanced stages, the technology can be used to trim away the diseased portions of the tissues, so healthy ones can attach to the teeth and make the issue more manageable moving forward. We can also use them to conduct gum contouring procedures, in which we remove excess tissues to improve the symmetry of the gum line and the appearance of your smile’s alignment.
If you have any questions about how our team will diagnose and treat these issues in only one visit with precision and comfort, then contact our office today. We want to help you and your family enjoy good oral health and beautiful smiles, and that starts with an initial exam, so reach out soon!
