Laser Dentistry
For some patients, fear and discomfort have been serious roadblocks to dental care. Unfortunately, a lack of appropriate dental care (twice-yearly checkups and teeth cleanings can result in severe or intrusive oral health complications, such as:
- Tooth Decay
- Oral Infections
- Gum Disease
- Chronic Bad Breath
- Tooth Stains
Gum disease is particularly concerning because, left untreated, it can result in tooth loss and even systemic health complications involving the heart and lungs. Newer studies even associate untreated gum disease with Alzheimer's disease risks and autoimmune complications.
In our Norfolk, MA, dental office, we aim to make dentistry accessible to as many patients as possible, even those who fear treatment. Using the Solea Laser®, our goal is to bring comfort to dental treatments and ease the anxiety of even the most phobic patients.
Laser Dentistry in Norfolk, MA: What Is the Solea Laser?
In many cases, the Solea Laser replaces traditional dental tools with advanced technology. Often, dental tools prevent patients from acclimating to the dental setting. Even with a gentle hand, the tools may seem daunting to some.
Solea is an advanced, FDA-cleared isotopic CO2 dental laser that works on both teeth and gums.
Instead of using dental instruments to cut into teeth or tissues, the focused laser can gently and silently remove areas of decay and treat related dental issues. The laser’s precise focus means your dentist in Norfolk, MA, does not have to cut into healthy tissue or dentin.
The team at Norfolk County Dental Care understands dental phobia and anxiety, which is why we always use a gentle approach and incorporate patient-centered technologies into our practice.
