Endodontic Laser Treatment
The Next Generation Of Root Canal Care
As dental treatment understanding advances, so does the technology delivering treatment. Phoenix Endodontic Group is proud to include endodontic laser treatments with the Fontana (SSP and SWEEPS®) and Biolase (Waterlase) systems in their Phoenix office.
Lasers have been used in a variety of medical treatments for decades. Their concentration of light waves into precise beams of energy has enabled doctors to seal blood vessels and clean human tissues. Endodontic laser treatments are often delivered with a stream of water or disinfecting fluids. This approach utilizes fluid dynamics to create imploding bubbles, thus cleaning dental surfaces via a pressure wave. The laser can also be used by itself to clean tooth surfaces.
Advantages Of Lasers In Root Canal Therapy
Endodontic laser treatment is a huge step forward for patients needing root canal therapy. Fontana and Biolase endodontic laser treatment systems treat teeth with complex root canal systems. Dr. Jacqueline Allen has been trained on both systems and can offer an efficient, less stressful root canal experience. Laser technology offers the following advantages:
Less local anesthetic. The lasers painlessly perform many tasks previously accomplished by scalpel or dental drill. This is a huge boon for patients, especially those with fears of needles.
A quieter root canal experience. For the patients who dislike the sound, pressure, or vibration of a dental drill, endodontic laser treatment feels far less noisy and invasive.
More effective cleaning of root canals. The laser treatment systems can help at three points in the root canal process – with the initial removal of decay, infection or other biofilm; with cleaning the canals after the removal of biofilm; and with removing chemical disinfectants prior to sealing the root canals.
Quicker post-procedure healing. Laser-based procedures result in less gum swelling and bleeding near the treatment site. Patients also heal faster after the procedures, leading to a more pleasant experience.
