Why Lasers for Your Dental Care

Soft tissue lasers have revolutionized dental care, offering patients a gentler and more efficient way to address many oral health issues. At Dr. Victor Gittleman’s practice in Morristown, NJ, we are committed to using the latest technology to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible. One of the most impactful advancements in modern dentistry is the use of soft tissue lasers, which provide many benefits for both patients and dentists.

Why Lasers for Your Dental Care

What Are Soft Tissue Lasers?

Soft tissue lasers use focused light energy to treat soft tissues, such as the gums, cheeks, and tongue. Unlike traditional dental tools that may rely on cutting, scraping, or other mechanical processes, soft tissue lasers offer a minimally invasive option. These lasers operate at wavelengths absorbed by water and hemoglobin, two key components of the soft tissues in the mouth. This allows the laser to precisely target and treat specific areas without causing damage to surrounding tissues.

Benefits of Soft Tissue Lasers for Patients

Soft tissue lasers offer several advantages over traditional dental procedures. It them a preferred choice for many treatments at our Morristown office.

  1. Minimized Discomfort: One of the biggest concerns for dental patients is discomfort during procedures. With soft tissue lasers, patients often experience less pain and discomfort because the laser seals nerve endings as it works. This can reduce the need for anesthesia in some cases, which many patients appreciate.
  2. Faster Healing Times: Since the laser cauterizes as it cuts, patients often experience less bleeding during procedures. The reduced trauma to the tissue means that healing is typically faster than with traditional methods. Many patients are able to resume their normal activities shortly after treatment with minimal downtime.
  3. Reduced Risk of Infection: The precision of soft tissue lasers means that there is less damage to surrounding tissue. This lowers the risk of infection. Additionally, the laser’s heat helps to sterilize the treatment area as it works. This greatly reduces the potential for infection.
  4. Less Swelling and Inflammation: Because soft tissue lasers are so precise and minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues, patients often experience less post-procedure swelling and inflammation. This leads to a more comfortable recovery.
  5. More Accurate Results: Soft tissue lasers allow Dr. Gittleman to perform treatments with extreme precision. This ensures that only the affected areas are targeted. This accuracy leads to better outcomes, whether it’s for gum reshaping, treating periodontal disease, or other soft tissue procedures.
