The PulseMaster delivers a narrow pulsed beam. Each pulse lasts only millionths of a second and vaporizes only a specific number of cell layers within the circumference of the beam. This gives me control over the laser. Lasers are not currently a viable alternative for preparation of teeth to remove decay and place restorations. A lot of hype has been in the news regarding Laser assisted dentistry, but it is still developing.
Lasers are precise instruments used for the shaping, removal, and treatment of soft tissue.
Gingevectomy - removal of areas of thickened, unhealthy, or unwanted gum tissue. Gingivoplasty - smoothing and shaping of unsightly or unhealthy gum tissue. Tissue retraction for impressions - this is a tremendous asset in improving the quality of fit crowns and bridges. These procedures can often be performed without bleeding, anesthetic, or the need for post operative pain medication.
