Why Choose a Laser Dentist for Dental Implant Surgery?

Posted By: Dr. Stan Kovtun | Published On: | Blog, Dental Implants, Laser Dentistry
How does Laser dentistry help dental implants?

Dental implants are an excellent and effective solution for replacing missing teeth and have become more common in practices worldwide. Laser dentistry is possibly one of the least painless dental procedures because lasers are a safe and gentle alternative to traditional dental tools. They have been used in dentistry since 1994 and compared to all the possible conventional methods, laser dentistry is a choice worth going for. During this time, we have been fortunate to benefit from numerous advances. It is suitable for you if your dentist uses a laser for dental implant surgery. The laser helps to reduce blood loss and the chance of wound infections and decreases post-surgery discomfort.

The lasers allow the doctor to provide treatments effectively and comfortably with a faster healing time. The laser is effective yet gentle on hard-tissue repairs. Rather than drilling away areas of decay, we may use laser energy. Patients treated with our laser often find that they need no injections to numb the treatment area. Typically, discomfort in the tooth repair process comes from the vibration and heat produced by drilling. Laser dentistry is sometimes called drill-less dentistry, and for a good reason!

We use lasers at our Alpha Plus Dental Center in Brookline for various dental procedures, including dental implant surgery, because the laser has many advantages for our patients. Laser is beneficial and convenient in implant placement, uncovering implants in the second stage, managing peri-implantitis, treating failing implants, gingival retraction, laser micropatterning of dental implants, and gingival contouring, laser welding of titanium components, and much more. Laser is the most advanced technology used in modern dentistry that has incredible precision and demonstrates such a positive effect on decreasing bacteria and bio-stimulation for faster and better healing. Laser dentistry is virtually pain-free, reduces pain and recovery time, and minimizes side effects. It is a more comfortable experience for patients, especially those who undergo dental implant surgery.

The laser utilizes a powerful light energy beam to perform various dental procedures. It is a safe and gentle alternative to a traditional cutting tool or a tissue vaporizer for surgical and dental procedures. When the laser light hits the hard or soft tissues, it produces a specific reaction that allows removing or re-shaping tissue.

Here are a few benefits of opting for laser dentistry:

  • Painless procedure
  • Bleeding is minimized
  • Decreased need for sutures
  • Anesthesia is unnecessary in a few procedures
  • Faster wound healing

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
