Mountain Family Dentistry uses the Gemini Laser by Ultradent to ensure gentler and more precise soft tissue treatments. This laser has been clinically shown to speed healing and promote healthy tissue growth.
This next-generation dental laser uses light energy with pinpoint precision to target distressed gingival (gum) tissue and heal it quickly. Low-level laser therapy creates a better outcome in four important ways:
- Cleans deeply and effectively
- Reduces swelling, bleeding, and discomfort
- Improves circulation and oxygenation for repair
- Uses light energy for a gentler treatment
Laser therapy can also be useful for:
- Reduce harmful bacteria levels
- Reduce the discomfort and size of canker and cold sores.
- Manage gum tissue during impressions for crowns or other procedures.
- Remove tissues caused by certain conditions or medications.
- Aid in the treatment of gum disease.
- Remove or reshape gum tissues during crown lengthening procedures.
How It Works
Laser light energy creates a photo-chemical reaction that superheats water in gum tissue. The laser wand, held much like a pen, precisely targets the cells in the treatment area, vaporizing diseased tissue and dark-pigmented bacteria while keeping healthy tissue intact. This process, known as photo ablation, encourages healthier cell function and reduces recovery time.
