At Only Smiles Dental we believe in investing in technology that improves the patient experience. The Yoshida OpeLaser Pro is a CO2 dental laser that is used for various soft tissue procedures and offers a needle-free and scalpel-free experience for patients by promoting precision, quick healing and minimal to no pain. Key applications include treating oral lesions, gingivectomy, soft tissue biopsies, crown lengthening, gum therapy for periodontal disease, tongue tie release and other frenectomies.
Why is Laser Dentistry better for you as a patient?
EXCELLENT BLOOD CONTROL
The Opelaser Pro uses a highly focused laser beam that can cut through tissue while simultaneously cauterizing the blood vessels in the area. This precise cutting and coagulating ability reduce the amount of bleeding during surgery, leading to a more efficient procedure and reduced risk of complications. Once the laser beam is activated, it quickly cuts through the tissue, while also sealing any blood vessels that it encounters. This helps to minimize bleeding and maintain a clear view of the surgical site, allowing the dentist or surgeon to work more efficiently.
EFFECTIVE PAIN CONTROL
The laser beam in the OpeLaser Pro is designed to minimize pain and discomfort during and after dental procedures. During the procedure, the laser beam can vaporize tissue precisely and quickly, which reduces the amount of heat and trauma that is transferred to the surrounding tissue. This results in less pain, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional surgical techniques. Additionally, the OpeLaser Pro’s laser beam also stimulates the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers. As a result, patients may experience less pain and discomfort both during and after the procedure. Overall, the OpeLaser Pro’s effective pain control can lead to a more comfortable and less stressful experience for the patient. This can be especially important for patients who are anxious about dental procedures, as well as for those who may be more sensitive to pain.
IDEAL POST-SURGERY MAINTENANCE
The third advantage of the OpeLaser Pro is its ideal post-surgery maintenance. This means that the laser can promote faster healing and reduce the risk of complications after the dental procedure. The laser beam of the OpeLaser Pro can target only the damaged or diseased tissue, while leaving healthy tissue intact. This precision results in less trauma to the surrounding tissue, which leads to faster healing and less scarring. Additionally, the laser beam of the OpeLaser Pro stimulates the production of biological glue called collagen which is essential for the healing process. Collagen helps to rebuild and strengthen the tissue that was damaged during the procedure, which can result in better outcomes and less discomfort during the healing process. The laser beam also has an antiseptic effect on the tissue thus reducing the need for postoperative antibiotics.
Overall, the OpeLaser Pro’s ideal post-surgery maintenance can help to ensure that patients have a smooth and speedy recovery after their dental procedure. This can be especially important for patients who have complex dental procedures or who may be at a higher risk of complications.
