Laser Therapy

Our office can now provide Laser Therapy. The acquisition of the KaVo KEY Laser 3 makes our office one of a very few in the Ottawa area able to offer our patients the standard of care they deserve.

There are significant benefits for our patients with laser therapy:

• Treatment causes distinctly less pain than conventional surgical therapy.
• Fewer post operative complaints.
• Less bleeding.
• Faster wound healing as there is no need for stitches.
• Complete therapy in just one session of treatment.
• Often eliminates the need for freezing due to its self anesthetic effect.

KaVo KEY Laser 3 allows treatment of a broad range of dental diseases:

• Gum therapy: reliably detect calculus and remove it without any residue. The tooth surface is left clean and undamaged. This type of gentle treatment allows for significantly reduced pain and increased healing.
• Small lesions on the gum tissue and re-contouring of the gum line can be done with minimal discomfort and faster healing.
• The laser can be used for desensitizing teeth for people that suffer from heightened temperature sensitivity.
• Cold sores and ulcers can be treated to allow significantly faster healing.
• The laser can also be used around implants to treat periimplantitis (inflammation around an implant).

For those patients that have fear of needles and drills, the laser provides an alternative mode of therapy. Overall the laser offers our patients conservative treatment options with high degree of success.
