Recovery Time with Laser Dentistry
Traditional dental procedures can require some recovery time. With recent innovations in dental technology, this time has almost been eliminated. Laser dentistry is not only more precise and efficient than traditional methods, it is virtually pain free and reduces instances of complications associated with some dental procedures.
How Laser Dentistry Reduces Recovery Time
Laser dentistry works to reduce recovery time and post-operative discomfort in several ways including:
• Eliminating the need for sutures – because lasers work to both cut and cauterize at the same time, there is almost never any need for sutures after a procedure
• Causing less shock to your mouth – traditional forms of dentistry require drills and other instruments that can rattle and apply pressure to your jaw. A laser, by contrast, will not present these problems, thereby reducing strain on your muscles and bones
• Minimizing damage to surrounding tissue and teeth – laser dentistry is incredibly precise. With great precision there is less risk of damage to surrounding tissue and teeth, which increases recovery time and also reduces additional complications
Lasers also reduce instances of infection and excessive post-operative bleeding, making them an ideal choice for many of our patients.
Dr. Folck is devoted to providing our patients with the most advanced technology available today. His use of lasers in both general and cosmetic dental procedures allows him to provide the safest, most effective procedures with minimal risks and substantially faster recovery times.
If you live in or around Portsmouth, Norfolk, Hampton, Chesapeake, Newport News, or Virginia Beach, Virginia and are interested in learning more about laser dentistry procedures, please contact Michael P. Folck DDS to schedule an initial consultation.
