Over the past decade, dental implants have become increasingly more mainstream for many reasons. Rather than traditional dentures, patients have shown preference to implants when needing to replace a tooth a great deal because of their real looking appearance, easy care, and endurance. Implants are also easier and less embarrassing for patients because of not needing to take them out, and only having to have the tooth that needs replacing removed. Although implants bring many benefits, the actual procedure can bring pain, swelling, and bruising. But now low level laser therapy is changing the way implants are done, speeding up healing, and decreasing need for many medications. LLLT during the preparation and placement of the implant(s) can greatly decrease pain, therefore reducing the need for multiple injections pre-procedure. Using LLLT during the placement of them implants can also decrease post-op pain and swelling, as well as greatly decrease bruising in the days that follow. Using LLLT during implant surgery can also greatly increase the bond of implant to bone. Studies have shown that using LLLT during implant procedure can improve bone growth around the implant, making it possible for patients to chew better, and feel more comfortable with the implant. This can eliminate the need for many return visits to fix problems, and leave patients greatly satisfied with the work done. Post-op pain is greatly decreased by LLLT, decreasing need for pain and anti-inflammatory medications in the days following the procedure. This is positive not only for the patient, but the dental practice as well, with consumers and patients becoming more aware of negative effects of many of these medications. If safety of low level lasers are questioned, you can be assured that LLLT is safe. Lasers only target cells at which it is directed at pinpoint perfection, and can only stimulate cells requiring this energy. Therefore, healthy cells are protected and do not respond to the lasers. Dental practices offering LLLT are sure to become the new leaders in this new age of dentistry. LLLT brings benefits not only to dentists, but to patients as they feel more and more comfortable with dental visits thanks to the quieter, gentler, and more effective methods used by LLLT dental offices.
