Laser dentistry is changing the game by helping patients heal sooner and with less pain and swelling.
At Softouch Dental Care in Oakton, Virginia, comfort is always a priority. Led by Dr. Michael Chung, our practice blends cutting-edge laser dental technology with a spa-like atmosphere for a better experience from start to finish.
How Laser Dentistry Promotes Efficient Healing
Laser dentistry involves devices that utilize focused light energy to perform precise work on soft tissues or teeth. Instead of relying on traditional tools like scalpels and drills, lasers provide a minimally invasive alternative. They offer:
- Reduced tissue trauma: Lasers make clean, accurate incisions. They cause very little disruption to surrounding areas.
- Lower risk of infection: The heat generated by the laser sterilizes the area. This lowers the chance of bacterial infections.
- Stimulated tissue regeneration: Laser energy promotes blood flow and stimulates cells responsible for healing.
- Less bleeding and inflammation: Sealed blood vessels mean less post-procedure bleeding and reduced swelling.
Patients can enjoy the benefits of lasers while undergoing various procedures, such as gum disease therapies and fillings.
