At Cary Family Dental in Cary, NC, Dr. Allan Acton utilizes state-of-the-art laser dentistry to provide a vastly improved patient experience. By replacing traditional methods with highly focused light beams, we can perform precise procedures that minimize pain and accelerate your healing time.
Here is what you need to know about how laser dentistry is transforming oral health care and what treatment options are available to you.
Why Laser Dentistry Makes a Difference
Laser dentistry offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods, minimizing discomfort, reducing healing time, and enhancing precision for procedures like cavity treatment, gum reshaping, and tissue removal
Laser dentistry represents a significant leap forward in how we treat dental issues. Instead of relying on mechanical tools that cause friction and vibration, lasers use concentrated light to gently treat soft and hard tissues in the mouth.
This modern approach offers several incredible benefits:
- Exceptional Precision: Lasers allow Dr. Acton to target damaged or diseased tissue with pinpoint accuracy. This protects your surrounding healthy teeth and gums.
- Reduced Discomfort: Because lasers eliminate the pressure and vibration of traditional tools, many procedures require less anesthesia. Some treatments require no shots at all.
- Faster Recovery Times: Lasers naturally seal blood vessels and nerve endings as they work. This means you experience less bleeding, reduced swelling, and a much faster healing process after your appointment.
- Lower Infection Risk: The high-energy light beam sterilizes the area it touches, drastically lowering the chance of bacterial infections following your procedure.
Dental Laser Treatment Options in Cary
Dr. Acton and the team at Cary Family Dental offer specific laser treatments designed to improve your oral health and the appearance of your smile without invasive surgery.
Laser Gum Reshaping
Do you feel like your teeth look too short, or do you have a “gummy” smile? Laser gum reshaping safely and gently removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth. Because the laser immediately seals the tissue, the procedure involves minimal bleeding and a remarkably fast recovery. You can leave the office with a beautifully contoured smile the very same day.
LANAP for Gum Disease
Gum disease is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Historically, treating severe gum disease required invasive flap surgery. Today, we use the Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). This innovative method uses a specialized laser to selectively remove diseased tissue and kill bacteria inside the gum pockets. LANAP leaves your healthy tissue fully intact, promotes natural tissue regeneration, and helps save teeth that might otherwise be lost—all with significantly less pain and downtime than traditional surgery.
