7 Ways Lasers Can Lead to More Patients

1  Less Referrals to Specialists – Soft-tissue lasers not only give practitioners the ability to precisely complete routine procedures performed in general practice, but also many procedures they previously would have referred to specialists.They are particularly useful for gingivectomies to facilitate caries removal and enhance a smile’s esthetics in a minimally invasive way.

3  Easier Periodontal Treatment – Lasers can be used for full periodontal therapy, including removing bacteria in patients with periodontal disease. According to Dr. Sam Low, a leading expert on technology for treating periodontal disease, “In addition to the long-standing benefits of diode lasers destroying bacteria in the periodontal pocket, there are exciting new dual wavelength protocols that are showing unprecedented tissue response and results for the patient. It is an exciting time for lasers in dentistry and the treatment of periodontal disease.”

4  Quick and Easy Cavity Treatment … that even younger patients won’t mind - One of the most promising aspects of laser dentistry is the opportunity to do more with less anes- thetic, less damage and less pain.

5 Better Impressions – When used to create a trough around prepared teeth, lasers can improve the quality of daily impression taking, resulting in impressions that are cleaner and more accurate.

6 Whitening and Cosmetic Dentistry Opportunities – Dentists can use a laser to improve the look of their patients’ teeth by removing part of the tissue to make the teeth match in size. PLUS, studies have shown that Biolase’s EPIC™ can perform a full- mouth, in-office whitening procedure with an average of 4-6 shades in only 20 minutes of treatment time. With LaserGel20 whitening gel kits available in five-packs, it’s a reliable, affordable treatment that can generate a high return on your investment.
