Contact UsWhat Is A Diode Laser?
Diode lasers are a state-of-the-art technology that has a number of uses for dental and periodontal treatment. By implementing energy and light pulses, a diode laser helps with procedures involving the soft tissue of the mouth. At Dr. Todd K. Baum, DDS, PC, we use diode lasers to perform effective and safe processes for our Grand Ledge, MI patients. In addition to offering shorter treatment times, diode lasers can also reduce bleeding after gum surgery, lowering the risk of infection and the chances that sutures may be needed.

What Are the Benefits of Diode Laser Treatment?
Regularly utilized during periodontal surgery, the diode laser is an advanced technology used at Dr. Todd K. Baum, DDS, PC. This laser allows for a number of benefits, including:
- Concentrates on fixed tissues without injuring neighboring areas
- Could minimize pain throughout oral operations
- Might lessen the overall duration of the procedure
- Stimulates quicker rehabilitation and less post-treatment pain
- Helps kill bacteria buried under the gum tissue
- Can be a less harsh substitute for the customary dental drill
- Can eliminate the need for sutures
What Can I Expect with A Diode Laser Treatment?
Dr. Baum commonly uses our office's diode laser to treat the gum tissues. Prior to any procedure with the diode laser, you may receive local anesthesia to help make the process more comfortable. Energy from the laser will be released in short pulses during the process, which should shorten the duration of the treatment. The innovative technology is mild and should generate less pain and discomfort during and following your treatment. After any procedure with a diode laser, you may experience inflamed or tender gums, but bleeding will be minimal, and there typically isn't any need for stitches. If you're in discomfort following your procedure, Dr. Baum may prescribe pain medication or give you nonprescription pain relievers to help. He will also provide you with detailed aftercare instructions so you can take care of your gums between appointments.
