Lasers Are Cool – The Future Of Endodontics Is Here
November 10, 2018
Drills often come to mind when people think of dental technology, but advancements in endodontics have gone far beyond that over the last several decades. At Advanced Endodontics of Westchester, we believe in utilizing the latest developments for endodontic treatment when helping our patients, particularly when it comes to procedures such as a root canal. That is why you will find we are one of the few specialists that utilize laser endodontics in our offices in Mt. Kisco, NY and White Plains, NY.
Treatment With Lasers and Modern Dental Technology
Lasers and dentistry go hand-in-hand. This technology has made less-invasive procedures with extremely successful results possible. For example, many teeth that require root canals often need to be extracted later if the tooth pulp gets infected. With laser treatment, however, the infection can be treated through minimally invasive means with less pain than before.
The use of lasers in treatment is quite simple. Dr. Justin Kolnick, Kara Diamond, Keith Hope, or Spencer Svetcov and our team use laser-assisted techniques and devices that allow us to target the laser beam at a specific part of the tooth to remove infection or disease. There is minimal pain involved, and many patients can go about their normal day immediately following treatment.
Advantages of Laser Treatment
Because laser treatment is less invasive, there are many advantages to using it:
- Patients can get back to their normal routine quicker because of less downtime
- The affected area heals faster
- There is less pain involved in the procedure
- Lasers are up to 99.99 percent effective in removing infection in many cases
This type of treatment is but one option that we offer. We can tailor individual plans to help patients reach their goals whether or not they are good candidates for laser treatments.
