What is laser dentistry?

Dr. Stephen Matarazzo is a dental professional who is ready and willing to invest in his practice to help improve patient experience. With the integration of laser dentistry, patients can achieve a more attractive smile that is healthy and clean. Laser dentistry includes treatments that integrate the use of laser light to improve oral health and wellness. Laser dentistry is used in many different aspects of dentistry at our practice, including:

  • Periodontal health – Studies continue to show that approximately three out of four Americans have some level or form of periodontal disease. Also known as gum disease, this infection can negatively impact the health of the smile. It can result in problems such as lost bone, lost gum tissue, and even lost teeth. This condition benefits from early detection and treatment. The infection can spread throughout the smile and can even cause bacteria to enter into the bloodstream and increase the risk of various conditions such as heart disease and stroke. While many dentists use a more traditional treatment to address this condition, our practice offers laser dentistry for the treatment of periodontal disease. The laser treatment is far less painful for patients and can be done without having to cut or suture the gum tissues. This treatment also reduces the patient’s need for invasive procedures such as surgical flap procedures and can address and control the infection in a more reliable and effective manner.
  • Cavities – many patients cringe at the sound of the dentist’s drill, but thanks to laser dentistry, patients will never need to hear this when they visit Dr. Stephen Matarazzo. This is because laser dentistry allows him to provide treatment for tooth decay without needing a drill. This technology allows for the treatment of cavities, including preparation for fillings. Patients can avoid the drill and anesthetics, ensuring they have a more comfortable visit in the dentist’s chair.

What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

Investing in the practice to improve patient health is crucial to ensuring patients have access to today’s technologically advanced solutions. Laser dentistry has many benefits. It can reduce the need for anesthetics, which eliminates that “fat lip” feeling patients have after their appointments. Lasers also provide more precise treatment of periodontal disease and tooth decay with less pain and discomfort. Treatment is done with laser lights that have been used in the field of medicine for many years. Patients can avoid sutures, cutting, and other invasive treatments that were once performed in dental practices around the area.
