What Is A Diode Laser?
A diode laser is an advanced technology that can be utilized in a number of periodontal and dental treatments. By implementing energy and light pulses, a diode laser helps with minimally invasive treatments on the delicate tissues of the mouth. At Palmer Dental Group of Houston, we use diode lasers to complete several effective and safe treatments for our Houston, TX patients. This technology can shorten treatment times and reduce the need for sutures after a periodontal treatment. It can also reduce bleeding and lower the risk of infection after treatment. To learn more about diode laser treatments, contact our practice to schedule an appointment with Dr. Palmer.
What Can I Expect from Diode Laser Treatments?
The diode laser is a small device Dr. Palmer uses to care for the soft tissues of your mouth. Local anesthesia may be administered before any diode laser procedure to help make your treatment more comfortable. Light from the laser is emitted in short pulses during the procedure, which can reduce the duration of the treatment. Many patients report their diode laser treatment to be mild, causing little pain and discomfort before and after the treatment.
What Are the Benefits of A Diode Laser?
Regularly used in periodontal surgery, the diode laser is a modern technology used at Palmer Dental Group of Houston. This laser offers many advantages, including:
- Can minimize discomfort throughout oral procedures
- Encourages quicker recoveries and reduces post-op discomfort
- Targets distinct tissues without injuring surrounding regions
- Can alleviate the need for stitches
- Can eliminate bacteria buried underneath the gum tissue
- Is a more calming alternative to the routine dental drill

For an emergency cap, they made an appointment the next morning, used top notch scan technology to determine that I needed a new crown, did the tooth work, & I left with a temporary crown same day. Highly recommended.
