Laser Therapy in Del Mar, CA
Dr. Charlton is proud to offer the latest technology available for periodontal therapy: laser treatment. There are numerous advantages to using laser therapy as opposed to the traditional methods requiring a scalpel and sutures.
Dr. Charlton can perform a variety of procedures using laser technology, such as a frenectomy, osseous surgery, and gum grafting. Dr. Charlton is also able to use laser technology as a way to regenerate healthy gums and remove diseases areas in a virtually painless way. This method also encourages healthy gum to regenerate and attach to the teeth. There is a much lower chance of gum disease returning when laser therapy is used as opposed to traditional surgery.
Comfort: Laser treatment offers a significantly more comfortable experience compared to traditional methods. With this approach, there’s reduced or no bleeding, minimized swelling, and no charring. Additionally, the dreaded drill noise and vibration are eliminated, making the experience far less stressful and anxiety-inducing. Laser procedures are quick, effective, and essentially pain-free. Postoperative sensitivity is greatly reduced, and recovery time is much quicker because the mouth begins to heal immediately after the procedure due to the less-invasive nature of laser technology.
Reduced Risk of Infection: The high-energy light beam of the laser not only performs the necessary dental work but also acts as a sterilizer for the area being treated. This significantly reduces the risk of bacterial infections and the possibility of relapses.
Anesthesia Limited or Eliminated: Since laser dentistry is virtually painless, many patients find that they no longer need to worry about injections and numbness. In most cases, only a light anesthetic spray is required. This eliminates the complications, discomfort, and cost associated with traditional anesthesia, making your dental experience at Del Mar View Dental Care even more pleasant.
With laser dentistry, we aim to provide you with a more comfortable, efficient, and safe dental care experience, ensuring quicker recovery and greater peace of mind.
