What are the benefits of laser dentistry?
Clinical studies showed that 97% of children and adult patients did not require
anesthesia. No time is lost waiting for Novocaine to take effect or wear off.
Your dentist can work on various quadrants of your mouth in one sitting.
Is the procedure safe?
The DELight is very safe - in fact, it is as safe or safer than a drill. Your
dentist will provide a special pair of glasses to protect your eyes. Just as
you don't look directly at the sun, you should avoid looking directly at the
laser beam.
How does the DELight work?
The DELight works by emitting a precise, specialized beam of light that gently
targets and destroys tooth decay. Decay is softer and has a higher water content
than healthy tooth structure. The laser is designed to target the decay with
higher water content and leave the healthy part of the tooth.
A reliable, highly effective, non-invasive laser fluorescent device to detect cavities at their earliest stages, and conserve heeling tooth structure.
If you are a patient who:
Nitrous oxide is available for the "nervous patient" - someone who does not care for dental treatment but can be treated in the normal dental setting.
You simply breathe the "sweet air" or "laughing gas" during the procedure. It helps calm those jitters. Another benefit of nitrous oxide is that it is extremely safe when used under the supervision of trained personnel. Once the procedure ends, the patient breathes oxygen for a while and then can resume their normal routine.
Patients who are extremely apprehensive or fearful may be candidates for "conscious sedation" or "twilight sleep". This procedure allows the dentist phobic patient to receive dental treatment usually with little or no recollection of the dentist appointment. To ensure safety, the patient is constantly monitored while sedated.
Lasers are helping to bring modern dentistry into
the 21st century. Treatment of dental decay with Erbium lasers is predictable
and painless in most cases for children and adults alike. Tooth preparations
are ultra-conservative and in most instances the high speed dental drill can
be eliminated. The laser uses a beam of light energy to remove cavities or gum
tissue with only a quiet popping sound and a gentle stream of water. Utilizing
this technique, cavities are literally "washed away" with laser energized
water.
