Some of the major reasons that individuals dislike dental procedures include the discomfort of drilling and the inconvenience of anesthesia. Even though regular exams can prevent severe oral health issues, the fear of invasive procedures keep many Americans away from the dentist.
As technology has grown and improved, dental techniques have also begun to move past the traditional image of painful, lengthy procedures. The use of lasers have allowed dental professionals to perform procedures quickly and less painfully. Progressive Dental is ahead of the curve, offering state-of-the-art laser technology.
Lasers allow for dentists to perform procedures with greater precision. Using this technology allows for a focus on small areas, control over power output and duration of exposure. Procedures performed using lasers may not require anesthesia or sutures, minimizing discomfort and inconvenience. The high-energy beam released from the laser aids in blood clotting and sterilization, minimizing bleeding and possible bacterial infections. In addition to protecting the mouth from excessive bleeding and over exposure, the damage caused to surrounding tissue is also greatly minimized.
Overall, while only an estimated 5% of dentists offer this type of procedure, Progressive Dental is experienced at utilizing laser technology to lessen discomfort for patients. Be sure ask about laser dentistry during your next visit to find out if it is a good fit for your needs.
