At Wilton Smiles, we understand that many patients feel anxious or fearful about dental procedures – that’s why we offer painless laser dentistry in Connecticut. Our painless laser dentistry procedures are a more comfortable and less invasive alternative to traditional dental procedures. Our team in Wilton is highly trained in the use of our Laser system, the Lightwalker Laser, allowing us to treat a wide range of dental conditions with both precision and the least amount of discomfort.
How Does Painless Dentistry Work?
Our painless laser dentistry service involves the use of a narrow, precise beam of light that removes and reshapes tissue and bone. This lets us perform many routine dental procedures without needing invasive drilling or anesthesia shots.
Our state-of-the-art Laser also sterilizes the tissue and bone as it works, which reduces the risk of infection and promotes faster healing.
Benefits of Painless Laser Dentistry
There are a number of benefits to choosing laser dentistry over traditional dental treatments, including:
Reduced pain and discomfort: Laser dentistry is far less painful and invasive than traditional drilling. This non-invasive method reduces bleeding and swelling, and it helps to seriously reduce the anxiety that some people feel during dental procedures.
Faster healing times: Our painless laser dentistry procedures promotes much faster healing times than regular dental treatments, as they do not damage or remove healthy tissue.
Precision: The narrow beam of light we use in laser dentistry allows for very precise treatment, meaning a more accurate and effective treatment for you!
Reduced risk of infection: Our Fotona Laser Lightwalker sterilizes the tissue and bone as it works, reducing the risk of infection both during and after your visit.
