Alta Loma Dental Care Utilizes Dental Lasers to Ensure Patient Satisfaction and Comfort

At Alta Loma Dental Care, we do our best to stay at the forefront of the dental industry. Because of that, we are now able to offer dental laser treatments for bacterial reduction procedures, canker and cold sore treatment and root desensitization.

 

While we can treat your gum disease in a number of ways, with laser technology, we are able to address the underlying infection that causes the disease. Through a painless procedure known as Laser Bacterial Reduction, Dr. Michael Kim is able to reduce bacteria around your gums from billions to hundreds in less than ten minutes. Dr. Kim also recommends that all patients decontaminate their mouths prior to these procedures in order to reduce or eliminate bacteremia.

 

We also treat canker and cold sores with laser treatments. Apthous ulcers (canker sores) and Herpes I (cold sores) are treatable with over-the-counter options, but laser treatment works much more quickly and effectively. In the case of cold sores, when caught in the tingling, burning period, laser treatment can actually help prevent the cold sore from ever appearing on your lip. If you are a patient of record and have had the misfortune of experiencing one of these painful lesions, please do not hesitate to call our office the minute symptoms begin. This service is provided free of charge to all patients of record.

 

Sensitive teeth have many causes, but regardless of the cause, those suffering from this condition are looking for treatment methods. Laser Root Desensitization treatment desensitizes the teeth with the laser and a tooth colored filling to match is often placed over the root surface to protect it. A desensitizing sealer is then placed over the filling.
