Laser Device
EPIC Diode Laser
In dentistry, the EPIC diode laser is the only laser with three therapy modes: soft tissue, whitening and pain therapy. What makes laser dentistry so popular with patients is the simple fact that less anesthetic and damage to the tissue is caused, resulting in more patient comfort and quicker healing.
- These lasers can be used to re-contour the gums to improve the symmetry in your smile.
- In case of Gummy Smiles, the laser is used to remove excess gum tissue, exposing more of the healthy tooth for a beautiful smile.
- Used in treating lesions, ulcers, and benign soft-tissue growths.
- Treatment of gum disease can be easily done by eliminating infected pockets. This can help in stopping the gum disease and preventing it from re-occurring.
- Used in Endodontic treatments
- These lasers are very safe and are valuable tools in dental surgery for the cutting and removal of soft tissue
- Very précised and minimally invasive, which reduces pain during and after the procedure.
- Reduces risks of infection and offer patients a faster recovery than traditional method
- Used for Teeth Whitening – The laser is very powerful and can give fast results for teeth whitening.
Periodontal Treatment
The EPIC Diode Laser is excellent to treat gum disease and has reduced the requirement of gum surgeries. Using the laser, the diseased tissue can be removed, and the areas sterilized from bacteria. This heals the diseased gums and prevents gums shrinkage normally associated with gums surgery.
Aesthetic Gum Surgery
The EPIC Diode Laser has also revolutionized the treatment of gum conditions. Patients with gummy smile will have this laser used on them to remove the excess gum tissue. Gums heal normally within 1-2 days.
Crown Lengthening
Another benefit is restoring teeth that are broken badly; they will have to be lengthened to provide adequate support to place a crown. Traditional crown lengthening surgery requires a healing period of minimum 6 weeks before a crown can be placed. With this laser, we can place the crown within one week.
Dental Implants
Used in easy uncovering of dental implants.
Tooth Sensitivity
Used to reduce tooth sensitivity.
Gum Depigmentation
Used to treat dark gums to make them pink.
