At Crowborough Gentle Dental Practice, our team is dedicated to providing our patients with cutting-edge dental care. We pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of dental technology, which is why we offer a range of laser dentistry services at our practice in Crowborough, Sussex. In this blog post, we will explore the latest advancements in laser dentistry and discuss the benefits of these innovative treatments.

Laser Dentistry: An Overview

Laser dentistry involves the use of lasers to perform various dental procedures, including both cosmetic and oral surgery services. This advanced technology offers numerous benefits over traditional dental techniques, making it an attractive option for patients who may be anxious about visiting the dentist in Crowborough or concerned about the discomfort associated with dental procedures.

 

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry offers several advantages over conventional methods, including:

• Faster healing and tissue regeneration
• Reduced swelling and bleeding
• Less pain during and after treatment
• Preservation of more of the natural tooth
• Reduced need for anaesthesia
• Reduced need for stitches and sutures
• Lower risk of bacterial infections after procedures

At Crowborough Gentle Dental, we offer a variety of laser dentistry treatments, such as:

• Gum reshaping and contouring
• Gum surgery (e.g., for gum disease treatment)
• Cavity detection and treatment
• Biopsy procedures
• Removal of lesions or growths
• Treatment of cold sores or canker sores

We also provide laser therapy for the treatment of TMJ pain and neuralgic pain using Photobiomodulation.

 

Photobiomodulation: A Revolutionary Treatment for Pain Relief

Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilises low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate the body’s healing process. This therapy has been shown to be effective in treating various conditions, including pain, inflammation, and tissue damage.

During a photobiomodulation treatment, the low-level lasers or LEDs are applied to the skin or mucous membranes. The light energy is absorbed by cells in the body, which in turn stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule essential for cellular function. This increased production of ATP can help to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate pain.

At Crowborough Gentle Dental, we offer laser therapy using photobiomodulation to treat TMJ pain and neuralgic pain. If you are interested in this treatment option, we encourage you to discuss it with your dentist to determine if it is suitable for you.

 

Introducing the Waterlase iPlus and Epic X Soft Tissue Dental Lasers

At our practice, we utilise two state-of-the-art dental lasers: the Waterlase iPlus and the Epic X Soft Tissue Dental Laser. Both devices are manufactured by Biolase, a leading producer of dental lasers.

The Waterlase iPlus is designed for both hard and soft tissue procedures, allowing us to perform a wide range of treatments with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times for our patients.
