Understanding the diode laser gum treatment
The diode laser is a specific type of laser that is commonly used in dentistry. It is used for a variety of dental procedures, including gum surgery, tooth whitening, and cavity preparation. The diode laser emits a beam of intense light that can be precisely targeted to the specific area being treated.
What are the benefits of diode laser gum treatment?
The main advantage of using a diode laser for gum surgery is that it can remove tissue with very little damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. This helps to minimize bleeding and pain during and after the procedure. In addition, the recovery time after diode laser gum surgery is typically much shorter than with traditional surgical methods.
Will Dr. Kenneth Egger recommend diode laser gum treatment for me?
If you are considering having gum surgery, your dentist will likely recommend that you have the procedure done with a diode laser. This is because the laser can provide more precise and controlled results than other types of lasers. It also facilitates faster healing and is far more comfortable than surgical alternatives.
