Laser Dentistry
Lasers in Dentistry
Lake Worth Dentist, Dr. Colleen Lam, is providing injection-free and drill-free dentistry by using dental lasers. With dental lasers, Dr. Lam is able to deliver conservative, precise treatment that is comfortable to the patient.
Many procedures performed require little to no local anesthesia, and the recovery is much easier for the patient. There is less potential for infection as the precise beam of the laser will disinfect the tooth before it is restored.
Many have also reported less post-operative sensitivity as well and less jaw pain since no injections are needed for most restorative dental treatments.
Most patients say they feel little to no pain at all. Some have experienced a temperature sensitivity when the water spray hits the tooth. Despite the slight sensitivity, most patients are able to tolerate the laser and prefer it over the conventional drill. For pediatrics, using lasers has made the dental experience much more tolerable and a positive experience as most do not need injections. Call us today for more information!
