Laser Dentistry in Owings Mills, MD
Dr. Joanne Block Rief now incorporates advanced diode laser technology in her dental practice. This soft tissue laser allows for precise, minimally invasive procedures that are faster, more comfortable, and often require little or no anesthesia. Many patients find that laser treatments significantly reduce discomfort and healing time compared to traditional dental tools.
The laser is versatile and can be used for a variety of dental procedures, including:
- Cosmetic gum recontouring: Improve the appearance of your smile by reshaping uneven or gummy gums.
- Treatment of gum disease: The laser can target harmful bacteria in gum pockets, helping to prevent or treat periodontal issues.
- Mouth ulcers and cold sores: Gentle laser therapy can promote faster healing and relieve discomfort.
- Soft tissue surgical procedures: Minor procedures like frenectomies or removal of excess tissue can be performed with minimal bleeding and faster recovery.
One of the main benefits of laser dentistry is reduced healing time. Many procedures can be done in a single visit, allowing patients to get back to their daily routines quickly. Additionally, because the laser is precise, surrounding healthy tissue is preserved, minimizing discomfort and swelling.
Laser dentistry is also ideal for patients who may have dental anxiety, as many treatments can be completed with little or no anesthesia and fewer post-procedure complications. This makes it a safe, effective, and modern solution for a wide range of dental needs.
