Intraoral Diode Laser

 

What is intraoral diode laser treatment?

Think of a diode laser like the Swiss Army Knife of dentistry. In a diode laser system, photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. The intraoral diode laser system is a highly favoured treatment tool, as it causes less tissue damage, less bleeding, and doesn’t require stitches. Patients also have a faster recovery time, with less swelling and scarring. Essentially, any soft tissue work that needs to be done can be completed with a diode laser system.

To offer better patient care, Dr. Jindia stays at the forefront of ever-evolving technology. Because laser treatment benefits our patients in so many ways, including less anesthesia and much less invasive procedures, it helps us foster a strong trust between them and our highly trained team.

At Elite Care Dental, we’re able to offer intraoral diode laser treatment for an extensive number of procedures, meaning our patients can recover and get back to their lives much more quickly than they would with the traditional numbing, cutting, and stitching.

 

WHY USE AN INTRAORAL LASER?

Technology is always evolving. Dr. Jindia stays at the forefront of the learning curve and is thus able to offer better patient care. The staff at Elite Care Dental is more capable, more advanced and having and using the latest technology fosters trust between Dr. Jindia and his patients because the patients know that laser dentistry is a big deal.

Using a diode laser in the office equals better patient care. There’s less anesthesia involved, a faster recovery, and the procedures are less invasive. The diode laser causes less tissue damage, less bleeding, and doesn’t require stitches. Overall, the patient’s body responds better to laser dentistry than the traditional numbing, cutting, and stitching that is involved in many of the procedures that a diode laser can now easily take care of.
