Laser Dentistry

Miracles of Laser Dentistry

A “laser” is a beam of super-concentrated light. Some lasers are so powerful, they can cut through metal. In dentistry, however, gentler lasers are used for many purposes.

Dr. Lynch, for instance, may use a laser instead of a drill to prepare a tooth for a filling or during root canal treatment. He might also use laser therapy for implants, oral surgery, teeth-whitening and treating sleep apnea. And he may use another type of laser for pain management.

With dental lasers, there is no drilling, no scalpels and no anesthetics—all of which provide a much pleasanter patient experience.

"Always a great experience. Even routine check-ups/prophylactic exams are efficient, professional and thorough. Staff members are always friendly and a pleasure to work with; my hygienist is a delight, as well as extraordinarily skilled. Whenever "serious" dental work is required, Dr. Lynch is highly skilled, technically expert and current, and a pleasure to work with. Dental Care Burke delivers an all-around excellent experience and top-quality dental care. I recommend it enthusiastically."

For Snoring, Sleep Apnea, Gum Disease and More

Immediate Snoring Relief

If you snore, you are not alone: some 90 million Americans snore. Snoring not only disturbs your sleep and your partner’s, it strains your relationship and poses health risks for you both. Chronically poor quality sleep is linked to serious health problems including weakened immune system, heart disease, increased risk of stroke, diabetes, obesity and more.

Dr. Lynch provides immediate snoring relief through the use of the FDA-cleared NightLaseⓇ laser system.
What Causes Snoring?

When you sleep, your throat muscles relax and push into the airway. Your tongue, also relaxed, may fall back, further constricting your airway. When you breathe, air traveling over these obstructions creates the harsh sounds of snoring. To prevent snoring, the airway must be kept open during sleep.
How Dr. Lynch Relieves Snoring

Dr. Lynch is specially trained in administering Night LaseⓇ Snoring Treatment. Using the state-of-the-art Night LaseⓇ laser, he gently and safely tightens the airway muscles to prevent them from blocking the airway during sleep. When the airway is clear, snoring is relieved. Treatment is completely noninvasive and no special care or therapy is needed afterwards.

NightLaseⓇ Snoring Treatment is administered in three 20-minute sessions over a six-week period.
Night Lase Treatment Benefits
Night Lase Snoring Treatment offers you these significant benefits:
- Immediate results (average 50% snoring reduction from the first day)
- Completely noninvasive, no scalpels or surgery required
- No unwieldy CPAP devices or oral appliances needed
- Results last up to one full year
- No special post-treatment care or therapy is needed
Also Relieves Sleep Apnea

Because sleep apnea (temporary pauses in breathing during sleep) is also caused by a restricted airway, many snorers suffer from sleep apnea, too. Dr. Lynch can help sleep apnea suffers as well using the NightLaseⓇ system with immediate results. (For more information on relieving sleep apnea for good, see page 14 of this magazine.)

Treating Gum Disease

Gum disease is a bacterial infection which causes swelling, redness and pockets to form between the teeth and gums. It can result in tooth loss and illness.

Dr. Lynch treats gum disease with his TwinLight™ laser system by rapidly removing infected gum tissue and cleaning bacteria and tartar from the teeth roots under the gum-line. It’s fast and extremely effective in reversing gum disease.

Enhancing a Gummy Smile

Some patients complain of a “gummy smile” meaning too much gum displays when they smile. Using his laser system, Dr. Lynch can reshape a gummy smile in just one appointment with immediate results.

Pain Relief and Rapid Healing with “Cold Laser” Therapy

A “cold laser” emits a lower-intensity light than other dental lasers. It doesn’t warm the body’s tissues like other lasers do— hence the name “cold laser.”

Cold lasers have the remarkable ability to relieve pain and inflammation while stimulating new cell growth. Dr. Lynch uses a cold laser to reduce patients’ pain, such as from a toothache or TMJ disorder. He’ll also use it during dental procedures to relieve pain and swelling. This makes for faster recovery times and greater comfort for patients.
