With dental lasers, Dr. Kania can provide unrivaled precision when treating a variety of serious dental issues.
Laser Dentist
Dental lasers use a concentrated beam of light calibrated specifically for use in dental procedures. Laser dentistry can be used in teeth whitening procedures, removing decay, and curing composite fillings. In some cases, a dental laser may be employed in the removal of decay and infected tissue when treating dental caries and gum disease. Your Encinitas periodontist uses dental lasers in gum contouring procedures, removing excess gum tissue, and providing cosmetic gum improvement. With the Periolase digital laser, Dr. Kania also provides oral surgery and the placement of dental implants.
The Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Dental lasers offer a host of benefits. Lasers are very precise and minimally invasive. Lasers can often be used in place of drills, addressing tooth decay and periodontal disease. Laser procedures often do not require stitches, providing a more comfortable post treatment experience.
The laser kills bacteria during treatment and reduces bleeding following a procedure. As a result, patients experience a reduction in infection and they often have a more comfortable post op experience. Finally, when used in gum disease and tooth decay treatment, dental lasers provide expert precision, preserving more of the patient’s natural tooth structure and gum tissue.
