About Anesthesia-Free Fillings with Laser Dentistry
If you need a dental filling or crown and are concerned about the pain or discomfort often associated with dental restorations, you may want to consider laser dentistry.
About the Use of Lasers in Dental Fillings and Restorations
At Hygge Laser Dentistry, we use the Solea® laser system in treating tooth decay. The laser precisely targets and eliminates bacteria inside a cavity and painlessly removes infection in the tooth. Because the Solea® laser operates at a unique wavelength, our dentist is able to effectively vaporize enamel quickly, without any drilling, vibration or effect to the surrounding tissues and teeth. This laser treatment of the tooth’s enamel allows the dentist to clean the decayed or infected site and prepare for the composite filling to be placed.
Whether you need an old filling removed and a new restoration placed or you are suffering from recent tooth decay and the pain of a cavity, laser dentistry can help. By reducing treatment time and increasing treatment success, the remarkable precision and comfort of laser treatment makes it an ideal choice for any dental patient.
Solea® laser dentistry provides a zero-anxiety dental experience and virtually eliminates the need for injections and drills.
When is a Dental Filling or Restoration Necessary?
Dental fillings or restorations are a traditional treatment in dentistry. When a tooth becomes decayed, chipped, cracked or damaged, a filling may be necessary. Before the material for the filling can be placed, the damaged tissue in the tooth must be removed and the site thoroughly cleaned in order to prevent further decay or infection. Traditionally, dental drills have been used to remove damaged or decayed enamel in order to prepare the tooth for restoration, which requires anesthesia to provide the patient with a comfortable experience.
However, laser dentistry removes the need for the use of a dental drill in preparing the tooth and offers a more comfortable, anesthesia-free alternative to this traditional dental procedure.
Benefits of Anesthesia-Free Fillings
Choosing laser dentistry treatment gives patients a more comfortable and positive experience at the dentist's office.
QUIETER TOOLS WITH LESS VIBRATION
Noisy drills and tools can be nerve-racking for patients of all ages. The noise and vibrations can lead to dental anxiety. With a laser, you can bypass these sensations. Many Americans suffer from dental anxiety; by knowing that there are treatment options that reduce the vibration and noise, receiving treatments at the dentist may be an easier and calmer experience.
COMFORTABLE TREATMENT WITHOUT INJECTIONS
A major concern for many patients receiving restoration treatments is the prospect of receiving a painful injection for the anesthesia. However, traditional treatments for filling and dental crowns require anesthetics administered by injection.
Laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia, so there are no painful injections to worry about. Lasers are also better for patients with sensitive teeth, as they can work and perform the procedure without causing discomfort.
FASTER TREATMENT
Laser dentistry offers a more precise procedure, which means that patients can receive better results with speed and accuracy. Laser treatments can remove plaque and enamel much faster than traditional dental tools.
The laser cauterizes blood vessels during treatment and also promotes blood clotting, so you will experience little to no bleeding as well as less swelling. This makes the procedure better and faster, eliminating the need for sutures.
Laser dentistry also lowers the risk of infection. Traditional dental tools can create tiny abrasions in your gums and other tissues, increasing the risk of gum infection. This slows down your recovery process and can even mean having to schedule more dental appointments for your dentist to monitor and treat the infection. A laser does not use those types of traditional tools and instead, actually sterilizes the area, eliminating most of the bacteria that can cause issues.
If you need dental restorations, one of your best options is to turn to laser dentistry. Laser dentistry treatments at Hygge Laser Dentistry provide advanced solutions for your greatest dental concerns.
