Dr. Richard Chang Implements Laser Therapy to Improve Gum Health in his Dental Practice

ALHAMBRA, Calif. - Aug. 23, 2020 - PRLog -- Dr. Richard Chang of Evergreen Dental Care has been practicing dentistry in Alhambra, CA, since 1990. Though he is not the only dentist in the area, his practice stands out as one of few that offer non-conventional dental services, such as treatments for sleep apnea and snoring and mercury-free dentistry.

Dr. Chang is excited to present laser dentistry as a therapeutic aid to enhance gum health. Firstly, as an introduction, laser dentistry can be used in soft tissue and hard tissue applications.

Hard-tissue laser: These lasers are extremely effective at precisely cutting through the enamel, making them an ideal option for removing teeth and bone with high accuracy. This includes everything from shaping a tooth before getting a dental crown and shaving down an uneven tooth structure to repairing old dental fillings.

Some hard-tissue laser applications include:

• Detecting and removing cavities

• Tooth preparation for fillings and crowns

• Treating tooth sensitivity (to seal the roots of the tooth)

Soft-tissue laser: YAG and diode lasers are better suited for handling soft tissue problems such as gum disease. For example, carbon dioxide lasers can safely and quickly remove damaged tissue caused by advanced periodontal disease while keeping healthy tissue intact. This laser is also able to target the nerves and blood vessels.

Some soft-tissue applications include:

• Disinfect deep gum pockets to promote healing

• Crown lengthening

• Treating cold sores and reducing healing time

• Teeth whitening

Dr. Chang has chosen to use laser dentistry specifically for gum healing as part of his non-surgical approach to restoring gum health. To learn more about Evergreen Dental Care, please visit their website here: https://evergreendental.care/.
