Laser dentistry is a precise and effective option to perform many dental procedures. Dr. Pryor uses laser dentistry for many different treatments such as cavity detection, tooth preparations where traditionally drills may have been used, treating tooth-sensitivity, treating a “gummy smile”, crown lengthening, removing soft-tissue folds from ill-fitting dentures, removing benign tumors and other procedures where laser dentistry is an ideal option. Since there is a decreased need for sutures during laser dentistry, bleeding is minimized, and the precision instruments allow less damage to surrounding tissues, Dr. Pryor prefers laser dentistry when possible.
Emitting quick pulses of high-energy light to the treatment area, Dental lasers use various wavelengths depending on the type of tissue is being treated. Surgical lasers are more accurate than traditional dental treatments and allow Dr. Pryor to conserve surrounding tissue and bone as much as possible.
Dr. Pryor uses the DIAGNOdent® dental laser to detect invisible decay. These invisible pits within the tooth enamel can be sealed with clear sealants in order to put off the onset of decay.
Dr. Pryor may use Waterlase® and diode lasers to vaporize decay with this virtually-painless alternative to traditional dental tools. Lasers can help alleviate patient fears since they don’t require dental drills during treatment.
