Since the introduction of the laser in 1958, we have seen it's use in military, scientific, commercial, medical and now dental application.
Most of us are familiar with some of the medical uses of lasers (Lasik eye surgery, refractive surgery, removal of growths, tumors, scars and dermotology, just to name a few), but laser use in dentistry is newer and until now, was not commonly used.
Lasers are an exciting and new addition to hi-tech, modern-day dentistry. Many of our patients state treatment is quicker and more comfortabe. The laser has become an invaluable tool in our office.
Now many dental implant, oral surgery and periodontal procedures can be done with or assisted by the use of the Deka Ultraspeed CO2 laser. We have employed the use of a laser in our practice for over 5 years with excellent results. We are proud to be bringing you tomorrows technology, today!
We are proud to announce the addition of the Millennium Periolase MVP – 7 laser into our practice.
With the addition of this latest FDA-approved laser technology, we are now able to treat moderate-advanced periodontal disease in a much more comfortable, conservative and predictable way with a procedure called LANAP (laser assisted new attachment procedure).
Like any treatment, laser dentistry is not for everyone. A comprehensive examination by a Periodontist is necesary to see if laser treatments are best for you. Dr Kazmer will discuss his findings from his examination, and review treatment options and recommendations.
This short video animation of the LANAP Procedure provides a concise explanation of how the laser works.
