Laser Technology Is Available At Our New Perrysburg
Ohio Dentist Office.
The whining sound of the drill. The thought of the needle.
Will it ever be possible to relax during a visit to the
dentist?
Dr. Clark's office says "YES!" And they've taken
a major step to put their patients at ease. "It starts
by eliminating as best possible the most feared aspects
of the dental appointment," says Dr. Clark. "Because
our primary concern is for the comfort of our patients
without compromising the quality of care provided, we
determined that an investment in advanced dental laser
technology is the solution."
Dental laser technology has advanced significantly over
recent years. Dr. Clark's office recently installed 3
OpusDent units from the dental division of the world's
largest medical, dental and aesthetic laser company, Lumenis
(Nasdaq: LUME). For the average dentist, incorporating
laser technology into the practice may be cost prohibitive,
however, the patient benefits cannot be equalled. "That's
why we made the investment in the laser and staff training."
says Dr. Clark.
OpusDent lasers promise to eliminate or significantly
reduce the need for anesthesia (and needles!), allow dentists
to perform procedures more quickly and with greater precision,
minimize bleeding and the risk of infection, and promote
faster recoveries with less pain. All of which is done
at the speed of light.
Lasers actually deliver energy in the form of light. This
"light energy" is absorbed by "target"
tissue. In dentistry, the targets include tooth enamel,
decay, gum tissue, or whitening enhancer's. No measurable
effect is experienced beyond the intended target site,
making laser procedures very precise.
Numerous dental procedures are performed using lasers.
From surgical to cosmetic procedures for patients of all
ages, lasers are making us all more comfortable in the
dental chair. One such use is the removal of decayed cavity
tissue and preparation of surrounding enamel for bonded
fillings. Another popular cosmetic use is the recontouring
or reshaping gums (sometimes described as "plastic
surgery for the smile"). Here, extra or diseased
gum tissue is removed. Another use is the vaporization
of bacteria in periodontal pockets which promotes healing.
Dental lasers are even used to treat cold sores with no
anesthesia, providing immediate relief and disappearance
of the sores.
Dr. Clark says his patients are extremely happy with his
purchase of the laser and the results. "I'd like
to say with the laser I'm now giving them beautiful, healthy
smiles at the speed of light."
