So lasers can be used for a lot of different things. The way we use it mostly here is with our hygienists and with our cleanings. So the lasers have a lot of great benefits.

They help to kill the bacteria that we can't reach with traditional cleaning methods. They help to stimulate your own body and immune system to be able to heal better and heal faster. We can also use them to treat cold sores and canker sores, things like that, to allow them to heal better through that same action of telling your body that it needs to heal.

So there's a lot of different ways that we can use it, but using with regular cleanings and deep cleanings to help reduce the bacterial load and help remove unhealthy tissue is really beneficial for our patients. Patients really like adding the laser dentistry to a part of their regular cleaning and when they need to have a deep cleaning done as well because it really is a comfortable thing for the patients. They might feel some warmth or tingles in their gum tissue when we're doing that, but typically it's a painless procedure that really just enhances the quality of their cleaning and allows things to get a lot healthier a lot faster.

Commonly Asked Questions About Laser Dentistry

Is laser dentistry safe for routine cleanings?

Yes, laser dentistry is a safe addition to routine dental cleanings. It allows our team to target and reduce bacteria beneath the gumline with greater precision and comfort. Laser cleanings are especially helpful for those with sensitive gums, early signs of gum disease, or anxiety about dental equipment. When used by trained professionals, like Dr. Despain, dental lasers offer a reliable, low-risk way to enhance your hygiene care.

What types of procedures can be done with a dental laser?

At our office, we use laser technology for several soft tissue treatments. This includes laser-assisted hygiene cleanings, cold sore treatment, and more. In each case, the laser allows us to perform procedures more comfortably and with greater precision. While hygiene is our primary focus, these other treatments benefit from the same gentle approach.

Does laser treatment hurt?

You'll find laser dental treatments to be very comfortable. Unlike traditional technology, lasers don't cause vibration or scraping sensations. In many cases, there's no need for numbing because the procedure is so gentle. You may feel a slight warmth or tingling sensation, but discomfort is minimal. For soft-tissue procedures such as cold sore treatment, the laser delivers relief quickly and without pain. It's a great option if you prefer a more relaxed dental experience.
