As dentists strive to create the perfect smile, they are often compromised by the technology (or lack thereof) they use in their practice. Respected leaders from the dental profession and dental equipment manufacturers have sought to identify the most practical and least invasive technology available to deliver top notch restorative and preventative care. Today, thanks to continuing efforts by these industry leaders, we have seen the introduction of many new devices that have advanced the dentist’s ability to perform at the highest standards. Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) technology has been used in various types of medical procedures for years and is now offered in cutting edge dental practices around the world. In addition to overall health benefits, dental lasers also offer increased effectiveness and comfort levels to many dental procedures. The Hoya ConBio Diode laser is used at Braasch Family Dentistry for a wide array of dental procedures such as Laser Root Desensitization, Herpetic and Apthous Ulcer Treatment, Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy, Gingival Recontouring, Esthetic Crown Lengthening, Preventative Laser Bacterial Reduction, and many other procedures.
