Lasers Dentistry in nadiad have been used in dentistry since the 1990’s,but are presently only utilized by a minority of dentists in nadiad. No laser system has yet received the American Dental Association's (ADA) Seal of Acceptance.The seal assures dentists that the product or device meets ADA standards of safety and efficacy among other things. The ADA, however, is cautiously optimistic about the future of laser technology.
Uses of a Laser Dentistry
Hot (or cutting) dental lasers are currently being used for the following:
Tooth decay.Lasers Dentistry in nadiad are used to remove decay within a tooth and prepare the surrounding enamel for receipt of the filling. Lasers Dentistry are also used to "cure" or harden a filling. For deeper decay, the laser Dentistry must be used in conjunction with a traditional dental drill, which explains why most dentists are not using a laser for removal of tooth decay (the dentist still needs to use a drill in many cases and cannot rely on just a laser in laser dentistry).
Gum contouring.Lasers are used to reshape the gums into a more esthetically pleasing configuration. This is becoming a relatively common use of the laser.
Control of periodontal (gum) disease.Problem bacteria are controlled with laser energy.
Soft tissue procedures. In laser dentistry lasers are occasionally used for biopsies, lesion removal, or frenectomies (releasing the tension on a piece of tissue that is preventing a part of the body from moving too far---commonly the upper lip).
Teeth whitening. Lasers can be used for teeth whitening, but due to increasing concerns over possible tooth desiccation during the procedure, most whitening is being done with a chemical process that relies on analogues of hydrogen peroxide. In some cases (Zoom, BriteSmile, etc.), the whitening process is light-activated (whitening is accelerated by shining a light on the teeth). However, this light is typically not a laser.
Cold lasers are being used by some dentists to help control tooth sensitivity, inflammation, and TMJ (jaw point) pain. We at the Mitchell Dental Spa have found the cold laser to be most effective on low level (not acute) pain, i.e. it is best for areas that are sore, but not outright painful.
