The word “LASER” is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser device emits a powerful, highly concentrated beam of light. (Didn’t we all love the amazing laser weapons in ‘Star Wars?’) Lasers are used in hundreds of applications in almost every Texas industry, including communications, research, manufacturing, entertainment, and dentistry.
Lasers are now used in some technologically advanced Marble Falls dental practices on both hard (tooth) and soft (gum) tissue. Lasers allow cosmetic dentists a degree of precision that was previously impossible.
How do lasers benefit dental patients?
- Fewer stitches (some surgical procedures require no sutures)
- Shorter healing time
- Decreased chance of infection
- Less damage to surrounding tissue/bone
- Increased patient comfort – anesthesia is often unnecessary
Our dentists use lasers in crown lengthening, decay detection, bacteria removal in root canals, tooth whitening, and treatment for snoring.
If you are interested in any of these procedures, call Ritchie Dental Group at 830-693-8833. Dr. Greg Ritchie has been providing unsurpassed general and cosmetic dentistry since 2000.
