How Do Lasers Apply To Dental Care & Gum Healing?
LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It converts electrical power into coherent, monochromatic and colliminated light capable of changing a target substance, such as human tissues. The tissues are modified due to the thermal effects produced by the light. Lasers were first introduced to dentistry in 1982.
The Odyssey 2.4G Diode Laser enables our Vancouver dental care practice to offer patients the most sophisticated, precise and minimally invasive technology available in dentistry. Its high affinity for soft tissue makes it an invaluable tool for esthetic sculpting of gums, accessibility, isolation and the healing of soft tissue. It differs from traditional methods in that it is more efficient and often faster. There is less post-operative discomfort for the patient and the bacteria levels in affected areas are reduced. There is virtually no collateral damage to healthy tissue.
Overall, our Vancouver laser dental procedures are safer, and healing time is reduced. They are highly effective, safe and gentle. The Odyssey Diode Laser is certified in compliance with the latest safety standards applicable to medical lasers in the US and Canada.
