Frequently Asked Questions
What procedures can be performed with laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry can be used for a wide range of procedures, including treating gum disease, removing excess gum tissue (gum contouring), treating cold sores and canker sores, removing soft tissue lesions, teeth whitening, cavity detection, and reducing tooth sensitivity. Dr. Julia Lee will determine which procedures are appropriate for laser treatment based on your individual needs.
Is laser dentistry painful?
Laser dentistry is typically much more comfortable than traditional techniques. In many soft tissue procedures, the laser eliminates the need for incisions and sutures, and local anesthesia may not even be required. Patients often report significantly less discomfort and anxiety compared to conventional dental treatments.
Is laser dentistry safe?
Yes. Dental lasers have been approved by the FDA and are considered safe when used by a trained dental professional. At Julia Lee DDS, Dr. Lee and her team are fully trained in laser dentistry protocols. Protective eyewear is worn by both the dental team and the patient during laser procedures.
Does laser dentistry speed up recovery time?
Yes, one of the major advantages of laser dentistry is a faster recovery. Lasers cauterize tissue as they work, which minimizes bleeding and reduces the risk of post-procedure infection. Most patients experience less swelling and discomfort after laser procedures compared to traditional surgery.
How do I know if laser dentistry is right for me?
During your consultation at Julia Lee DDS, Dr. Lee will evaluate your dental concerns and medical history to determine whether laser treatment is an appropriate option for you. Laser dentistry is suitable for most patients, and Dr. Lee will be happy to walk you through the benefits and answer any questions you may have.
