About Laser Dental Procedures

Dental lasers, like diode, erbium, and carbon dioxide lasers, have transformed dentistry by providing precise and minimally invasive treatments. These lasers emit concentrated light beams, offering benefits such as reduced pain, less need for anesthesia, and quicker healing. They are used in various procedures, including decay removal, cavity preparation, gum reshaping, treating gum disease, lesion removal, and teeth whitening. Laser dentistry results in reduced bleeding and swelling, minimal damage to surrounding tissues, and a lower risk of bacterial infections. Patients often experience shorter recovery times and increased comfort. However, not all dental treatments can be performed with lasers, and their use depends on the dentist’s expertise and the specific concern.

What are laser dental procedures?

Laser dental procedures utilize advanced technology where focused light energy is used to treat various dental conditions. They are minimally invasive and provide precision in treatments for procedures such as cavity treatment, gum disease therapy, and teeth whitening.

Are laser procedures safe?

Yes, laser dental procedures are considered safe when performed by a trained professional. They minimize discomfort, reduce the need for anesthesia, and promote faster healing. The precision of lasers ensures targeted treatment, enhancing safety and efficacy.

Do laser procedures cause pain?

Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during laser dental treatments. The laser’s precision allows for minimal impact on surrounding tissues, reducing pain and often eliminating the need for anesthesia.

How long do laser procedures take?

The duration of a laser procedure varies based on the treatment. In many cases, they can be quicker than traditional methods due to their precision. A simple treatment such as cavity fillings may take just a few minutes.

Can lasers be used for gum disease treatment?

Absolutely. Laser technology effectively treats gum disease by removing infected tissue and bacteria while promoting gum regeneration. It’s less invasive than traditional surgery, often reducing discomfort and healing time.

Are laser procedures more expensive?

While laser procedures may have a slightly higher initial cost, their precision and reduced need for follow-up treatments can make them cost-effective in the long run. They may also minimize discomfort and the need for additional medication.

Do lasers work for teeth whitening?

Yes, laser technology can enhance teeth whitening treatments by activating the bleaching agent applied to the teeth. This accelerates the whitening process, providing faster and often more effective results.

Are there any side effects of laser procedures?

Generally, laser dental procedures have minimal side effects. Patients might experience mild discomfort or slight swelling, but these effects are typically short-lived and less intense than traditional methods.

Can anyone get laser dental treatments?

Laser procedures are suitable for many patients; however, a comprehensive dental examination is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Factors such as overall health and specific dental needs will be considered.

Will insurance cover laser dental treatments?

Insurance coverage for laser procedures can vary. Some plans may cover these treatments, while others may not. It’s advisable to consult with our clinic and your insurance provider to determine coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs for laser dental procedures.

I want to thank everyone for the best pain free tooth extraction I've ever experienced. Doc was right when he commented the worst it tastes the better it works. 😎 Even after the numbing wore off I (my nosey tongue) had to check and see if it was really gone because there was no pain. I'm not complaining !! Thanks again, Pam

I came to the office at Precision Dental of Howard for a consult about tooth implants to replace two teeth that I had extracted. Prior to the extractions, I had an ongoing infection in my mouth that 2 dentists, 2 ENT's, and an oral surgeon could not figure out. I had one x-ray at Precision Dental, and Dr. O'Donoghue was able to tell me more about the possible origins of the infection than all of the providers that I had seen combined. The news was not great, but I was so grateful for his expertise and explanation of what may be going on. Clearly, he has so much knowledge to share, and truly wants to help people. I am beyond appreciative that I may be finally figuring out the source of the infection, and taking steps to once again have a healthy mouth and smile. It has been a very long road. Very happy to have found him!

Dr. O’Donoghue I have to tip my hat to you and bow!!! You made me feel very comfortable and I am a person who came to you for help with a mouth full of failed teeth and a white knuckle fear of the dentist. Your skills are quite extensive and your nature is kind, honest and gentle. In addition your staff is also splendid and very supportive and helpful. Katarina and Sophia, I can’t thank you enough and it is such a comfort, to me, as a patient, that you all work in sync with each other. Blessings to you all!!!

Absolutely by far, the best dental experience I have had. I have had an extensive amount of previous dental work done, and with the installation of my first implant performed at precision dentistry being the most extensive work. I couldn't imagine a better experience. Virtually painless every single time and the work was done with the highest level of precision. To sum up the experience. If I had not been awake for experience I wouldn't even have know it happened. Extremely pleased and happy with the work is an understatement! A very happy patient!!
