Laser Dentistry in Wilmington MA

The use of lasers in dentistry is a tremendous benefit to the patients in the treatment of cavities and soft tissue applications. Removal of decay using a laser allows for extraordinary precision, and in most cases, reduces the need for the noisy high-speed drill and anesthesia.

Lasers used in the treatment of periodontal disease and other soft tissue procedures result in little to no pain, faster healing, and better results. We use the following laser technology to provide the most effective care:

The Waterlase iPlus Laser

With Waterlase® technology, Dr. Caselle can offer advanced dental treatments with more comfort and convenience than ever before. Waterlase uses laser energy with a cool jet of water and air to gently remove decay, often without the need for shots or anesthesia.

Best of all, Waterlase is precise, so Dr. Caselle can easily remove areas of decay while leaving the healthy parts of your tooth intact. That means more stability for your teeth and your smile.

We can also use Waterlase in treating periodontal disease producing excellent results without the standard surgical approach and associated pain and swelling. Healing times may be shorter than with traditional surgery.

Epic Diode Laser

We use the Epic Diode Laser for soft tissue procedures such as:

Gingivectomy – the reshaping or removing of extra gum tissue

Frenectomy – the removal of excessive muscle attachments that cause soft tissue loss around teeth

Laser bacterial reduction – used after periodontal treatment to kill the bacteria that cause periodontal disease and stimulate healing

Treatment of canker and cold sores – reducing the pain, longevity, and severity of these common lesions

Biostimulation -– to reduce jaw pain due to muscle tension, clenching, and grinding

Laser dentistry is not only more comfortable than traditional dentistry but also more convenient. The versatility of dental lasers allows Dr. Caselle to perform many complex procedures right in his office, so the days of referrals to specialists and driving all over town to get the treatment you need are history!

DIAGNOdent (Laser Cavity Detection)

The DIAGNOdent is a safe, painless laser that measures your teeth to find hidden decay, often detecting early cavities before they progress and cause extensive damage to your teeth. Diagnosing decay in the early stages allows Dr. Caselle to place smaller, less invasive fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth’s structure.

Laser Dentistry Technology

Laser Dentistry

Faster treatment times, less bleeding, and painless treatment are just some of the features of laser dentistry. Both hard and soft tissue lasers allow us to provide more precise treatment, preserving healthy tissue, often without anesthetic.

Lasers for Painless Tooth Restorations

Lasers have a setting that detects and removes decay using light energy while leaving healthy tooth structure behind. In many cases, laser dentistry makes it possible to avoid numbing the tooth because it does not have the vibration and friction of handpieces.

Laser Periodontal Treatment

When gum disease surgery is necessary, lasers provide precise removal of bacteria and diseased tissue. Unlike traditional surgery, we can often avoid stitches and lengthy healing times by simultaneously sealing off blood vessels. Lasers stimulate regeneration of healthy gum tissue.

In addition to periodontal disease treatment, lasers also provide effective treatment of:

Tongue-tie
Frenectomy
Gingival sculpting

Laser Cavity Detection

DIAGNOdent detects decay before it is large enough to become obvious on a dental x-ray, giving Dr. Lee the ability to treat the cavity while it is minimal when it is less invasive and less costly.

DIAGNOdent laser technology can penetrate even the smallest pit in the enamel to provide a reading, which informs Dr. Lee about the depth and width of the filling. This information provides him the information necessary for accurate treatment planning.

Pain Relief

Laser dentistry uses biostimulation to relieve muscle pain due to clenching, grinding, and jaw pain.

Lasers in Dentistry, Really?

I was at a recent gathering and it wasn't long before someone asked what I did for work. I mentioned I was a dentist and as usual people tell me about their dental experiences. One person stated they hated the sound of the high speed drill, another had gum surgery which for them was a very painful ordeal.

I told them it was unfortunate that their dentist did not use a laser. Lasers in Dentistry, really? Yes I said, they have been used successfully for years in dental offices. A laser can be used in place of a high speed drill to delicately remove decay from teeth usually without the need for local anesthesia. Since lasers have pinpoint accuracy ...
