How Does the Patient Benefit from Laser Dentistry?


Patient comfort is a leading advantage over conventional surgical modalities.  Lasers can reduce the need for anesthetic, minimize post-operative swelling and discomfort, and enhance patient recovery.

 

Since lasers provide a clean, hemostatic operating field, visibility is often better than with a scalpel - even down in the pocket.

 

Also, several procedures using lasers are more efficient than traditional surgical modalities, resulting in reduced chair-time for patients and increased turnover rates for dentists.

 

 

Are Dental Laser Procedures Painful?


A fundamental advantage in laser dentistry is the minimal requirement for anesthetic.  Because lasers’ energy can be pulsed at such a fast rate, patients’ neurons don’t even register a response.  Lasing can sometimes feel like a mild sunburn or like a light rubber band snapping.

 

 

Does a Patient Have to Sign a Release Form to Have Laser Treatment?


Dental practitioners can decide for themselves if they want patients to sign a release form, though it is not required.

 

 

Can My Hygienists Use the Laser?


It depends on the state in which you practice.  To find out, you should call your state board. 

 

Hygienists are often permitted to perform certain procedures, but are generally not allowed to remove tissue with the laser.  Hygienists must consult their states’ practice acts before implementing laser therapy into their treatment plans.

 

Laser certification provides confidence and expertise when educating clients and their medical health care providers.  Laser certification is highly recommended for all hygienists and staff members.
