Our Laser Dentistry Options at Springs Dental Care
Here is a look at some of our laser dentistry options:
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP): LANAP is the only FDA-approved, minimally invasive laser procedure that offers a superior alternative to traditional gum surgery for treating advanced periodontitis, a severe form of periodontal or gum disease. The groundbreaking treatment involves the use of the PerioLase laser to gently and precisely remove any diseased tissues while stimulating bone and gum tissue regeneration. LANAP provides exceptional, long-term outcomes, halting the progression of gum disease and preventing its devastating impacts on your smile and overall health.
Gemini Diode Soft Tissue Laser: Our Gemini diode soft tissue laser uses specific wavelengths of light to provide a gentle, precise, and predictable alternative to many traditional surgical dental procedures. The breakthrough technology reduces discomfort and the need for local anesthesia, minimizes bleeding and swelling, promotes faster healing, and reduces the risk of infection. Here is a look at some of our soft tissue laser dentistry procedures:
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: Our cutting-edge soft tissue laser uses specific wavelengths of light to destroy harmful bacteria below your gum line and in your gingival pockets. Laser therapy coupled with deep dental cleaning (scaling and root planing) has been shown to reduce gum inflammation and recession, bleeding, and even tooth loss.
- Gingivectomy: A laser gingivectomy involves the use of our soft tissue laser to treat gum disease by removing diseased or extra gum tissues that create pockets between the gums and teeth. It can also help prepare for restorative treatments or improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
- Crown Lengthening: Crown lengthening is usually recommended to reshape the gum tissues to expose more of the tooth’s crown, especially when a tooth is broken or is too short. This helps ensure the teeth are of an appropriate length to place a restoration like a dental crown while also improving the symmetry and appearance of your smile.
Digital Dentistry for Enhanced Patient Care
Digital dentistry helps streamline diagnosis and treatment planning, allowing for precision and accuracy in performing the most intricate procedures. We are able to capture X-ray images or digital impressions faster with more comfort for our valued patients. Digital dentistry is an investment in your oral health, comfort, and overall well-being. Here is a look at some of our digital dental tools:
- CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography): This advanced imaging technology provides intricate 3D images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. It offers superior diagnostic precision and is invaluable for planning complex procedures.
- Digital X-rays: Digital X-rays offer a safer and more convenient imaging tool than traditional film X-rays. They allow us to uncover underlying problems, such as early tooth decay, cysts, bone loss, tooth root problems, and other concerns. The innovative imaging technology reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional X-rays, providing safer care.
- Intraoral Camera: An intraoral camera is a tiny handheld device that provides a detailed view of your teeth, gums, and oral structures. It is a powerful tool for patient education, helping you better understand your dental health and make informed decisions about your treatment options.
- iTero Scanner: The state-of-the-art 3D imaging device captures highly detailed digital impressions without the need for messy or gooey dental putty. These scans can help create custom dental restorations while also integrating with Invisalign treatment planning software, streamlining your care.
