Our Oxford MA Family Dentist Provides Laser Dentistry

The following offers a comprehensive understanding of the laser dentistry procedure offered at our dental office, performed by our Oxford MA family dentist, ensuring a comfortable and efficient experience.

 

Laser dentistry involves the use of high-energy light beams to perform a variety of dental procedures with precision and minimal discomfort. It is a versatile tool used for both hard and soft tissue procedures, enhancing treatment outcomes and patient comfort.

 

Before your procedure, you will consult with Dr. Valente. The consultation includes a review of your dental history and a thorough examination. You and Dr. Valente will also discuss the risks and benefits of laser dentistry. 

 

After the consultation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Then, you'll schedule your procedure on your preferred date and time, and Dr. Valente will provide you with pre-procedure instructions. 

 

Before the procedure, we will ensure all laser equipment is sterilized and functioning properly, and prepare the treatment room with all necessary supplies, including protective eyewear for both patient and staff. After a review of the treatment plan, you’ll be comfortably seated and potentially administered local anesthesia if the procedure calls for it. 

 

Depending on the type of procedure (e.g. cavity preparation, gum contouring, lesion removal), different laser settings are selected. For cavity preparation, Dr. Valente uses the laser to remove decay precisely without affecting surrounding healthy tissue. For gum contouring, the laser sculpts and contours the gums with minimal bleeding and reduced need for sutures. In a lesion removal procedure, she uses the laser to excise oral lesions. Your comfort is continuously monitored during the procedure, and settings are adjusted as needed. 

 

After your procedure, we will provide post-procedure care instructions, including pain management, oral hygiene practices, and dietary recommendations. You should schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor healing and address any concerns. Dr. Valente will also call within 24-48 hours after the procedure to check on your condition and address any immediate concerns. 

 

Laser dentistry performed by our Oxford MA family dentist offers a modern, efficient, and patient-friendly approach to dental care and laser dentistry. By adhering to this procedure, we ensure high standards of treatment quality and patient satisfaction.
