Laser dentistry relies on a focused and precise light or heat energy line to manipulate or cut tissue. It can transform these tissues without the invasive effects of a scalpel.
We use our Solea laser for the following:
- Gum recontouring
- Gum disease treatment
- Oral biopsies
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Snoring reduction
Laser dentistry in Eagan is part of our patient-centered approach to dental care.
The Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is a kinder and gentler way to treat oral health issues. Because the laser beam is concentrated, you can count on treatment precision.
The benefits of laser dentistry include:
- Less Bleeding: Scalpel surgeries often cause ongoing bleeding, especially for a day or two afterward. Laser dentistry causes little to no bleeding.
- Reduced Need for Sutures: Lasers can cauterize tissue, so you may not need sutures.
- Reduced Need for Anesthesia: Your dentist can perform virtually painless treatments and procedures with the laser.
- Multiple Treatments: Because the laser is gentle, you can undergo numerous treatments to bone, hard, and soft tissues without concern.
- Faster Treatment Time: Laser dentistry often means a speedier treatment or procedure.
- Precise Treatment: Precision means a faster recovery time for you.
Our Commitment to Patient Comfort
Laser dentistry is part of our commitment to patient comfort. It is one of several technologies geared toward making your treatment painless and more straightforward.
Other innovative patient-centered technologies include:
- Digital Imaging: Digital imaging is safer for patients and better for the environment than last-generation film x-rays.
- Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide is a safe and relaxing gas for patients who feel anxious at the dentist’s office.
- Same-Day Restorations: Same-day restorations mean less hassle for our valued patients.
