Greenwood, Indiana (March 4, 2015) – Dr. Richard Gillum, a renowned dentist in Greenwood, Indiana at Gillum Dentistry, uses the ez-lase™940 diode laser to treat soft tissue disease and gum abnormalities. Unlike most diode lasers, the ez-lase does not cut tissue using heat, leading to greater patient comfort. Developed by Biolase, the ez-lase uses a 940 nm wavelength to reduce tissue temperature in procedures and make accurate cuts. Compared to other wavelengths, the 940 nm wavelength shows superiority with its ability to be absorbed better by hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin.
A device weighing only two pounds, the ez-lase is the most powerful portable diode laser in the industry. The equipment allows for safe and pain-free treatments like removing oral growths, preventing gum recession, and relieving pain from cold sores and fever blisters. With this laser, a dentist in Greenwood, IN can perform most procedures using only minimal or topical anesthetic.
Soft tissue procedures like frenectomy, which removes the frena (muscle folds or attachments) that cause pain or impede the function of the mouth, are also improved by using the ez-lase. This is because the device offers precise control for cutting tissue. Using a wide selection of bendable tips, a dentist can easily access hard-to-reach areas for better results.
The ez-lase™940 diode laser is essential in many procedures in dentistry. Through this state-of-the-art equipment, outdated and painful treatments that use scalpels and sutures are no longer needed, which benefits patients and dentists alike.
