Diode Lasers: Many Effective Dental Uses!

A Diode Laser works wonders to help with many soft tissue procedures including contouring of the gum tissue for a more close fitting crown or filling,  incisions and excisions of tissues that are red, puffy and which bleed easily. They work around implants and metals without excessive heat or loss of bone healing. Bleeding can be controlled quickly and effectively.  This helps with patients with hemophilia or those on blood thinners.These lasers can also be used with patients who have a pacemaker without any ill effects.
They are also commonly used to help the dentist heal ulcers or canker sores on the tissues inside the mouth.
They have also been found to help heal deep "pockets" of bone loss so the patient can keep these areas clean and healthy at home between visits!
