2. How do lasers treat cavities?
Many patients are surprised to learn that lasers can help manage tooth decay. The laser removes the decayed portion of the tooth by vaporizing damaged tissue. It also sterilizes the area to reduce bacterial growth.Â
Lasers reduce the need for dental drills in cavity treatment. That means fewer vibrations, fewer noises, and a more relaxed experience.
3. What other areas can laser dentistry help?
Laser technology has revolutionized dentistry, enabling seamless workflows in various dental procedures. Besides cavity treatment, laser dentistry can be used for:Â
- Gum contouring
- Treating gum disease
- Removing excess tissue
- Whitening teeth
- Cold sore or lesion treatment
The key advantage of lasers is precision. Lasers allow targeted treatment with less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional tools.
4. Is laser dentistry costly?
Laser dentistry can be slightly more expensive than traditional methods, depending on the procedure. The cost varies depending on the type of laser used, the type of treatment required, and the time involved.
However, many patients find the benefits worth it. Less discomfort. Faster healing. Fewer follow-up visits. Reduced need for anesthesia. These advantages often balance out the investment.
Our office is committed to making your treatment as affordable as possible. We accept insurance and work with you to maximize your benefits. We also offer dental financing with CareCredit, Cherry, and Lending Club to break down treatment into affordable installments. You can also take advantage of our in-house membership plan, which works like insurance, only better.
5. Does insurance cover laser dentistry?
Insurance coverage depends on your plan and the specific procedure being performed. If the treatment is medically necessary, such as periodontal treatment, many plans cover part of the cost. Cosmetic procedures may not be covered. Since coverage varies, it’s best to verify your benefits with our team before treatment. We want you to understand your coverage and feel confident about your options.
