Laser Dentistry in Boca Raton
Laser dentistry is the most modern form of dentistry, and has greatly enhanced the patient experience at the Boca Raton practice of Dr. Mitchell Pohl. Dr. Pohl can use lasers to cure composite resins that are used to fill teeth (tooth colored fillings), to accelerate the tooth whitening process, to perform soft tissue surgery, and even to remove cavities from teeth.
How do Lasers Work?
A laser amplifies light, and Dr. Pohl uses this light energy to effectively and painlessly clean teeth, whiten teeth, and to cure composite resin material. Dr. Pohl uses the Waterlase Laser by BioLase®, the leader in dental lasers. The Waterlase's laser energy is absorbed in water, and it was the first laser to be approved by the FDA for cutting hard tissue, such as tooth structure.
Lasers and Tooth Decay
Now, Dr. Pohl can remove decay from teeth with virtually no anesthetic, no pain, and no vibration. According to Dr. Pohl, "I have personally used the laser on a lower molar cavity that was near the tooth's nerve without any discomfort!"
Laser cavity removal is great for kids, as it allows Dr. Pohl to treat small cavities with no need for injections. Other procedures Dr. Pohl can do with lasers include:
•
Crown lengthening (removing gum and bone to expose more tooth)
•
Cosmetic gum contouring
•
Frenectomies. The frenum is a small muscle attachment under the lips.
•
Excision of minor growth
•
Periodontal therapy (treatment of gum disease)
•
Apthous ulcer treatment
Lasers and Root Canals
The FDA recently approved the Waterlase laser for root canal (endodontic) therapy. Dr. Pohl can perform the majority of root canals with just a topical anesthetic gel, with no suturing required and very little post-operative discomfort.
Laser dentistry is truly the future of dental care. To learn more about how lasers allow Dr. Pohl to remove the discomfort from dentistry, contact him in Boca Raton today.
