If you're a young dentist working to pay down your debt and establish your practice, a large purchase such as a dental laser is probably not high on your list. But a laser can actually advance your financial goals and level of care.

1. Oferă rezultate consistente cu rezultate excelente legate de pacient.
One key benefit of a dental laser is the consistent results. This includes minimal discomfort for the patient as well as decreasing the amount of time a patient is expected to be in the chair. For example, Waterlase dental lasers are cleared for numerous dental applications that can be performed on both pediatric and adult patients. This specific laser is precise and accurate, providing very acceptable results. After being treated with the laser, patients frequently return expressing they had much less postoperative pain, bleeding, and swelling than they anticipated. This is highly valuable as mulți citează durerea ca sursă pentru fobia dentară, ceea ce îi împiedică să se întoarcă la tratament.
2. Capacitatea de a efectua proceduri cu confort sporit pacientilor
Dental lasers allow for a more streamlined process of care and are more comfortable than treatments performed with "traditional devices." Moreover, since most procedures today can be augmented by laser technology, dentists can provide more comprehensive care in-house, which can help grow the practice.
3. O piesă de tehnologie versatilă și eficientă
Laserele dentare sunt extrem de versatile, ceea ce este benefic atât pentru pacienți, cât și pentru furnizori. Profesioniștii din domeniul stomatologic cu o expunere redusă la atributele cuprinzătoare pot subscrie la credința că tehnologia se limitează la câteva proceduri, cum ar fi o gingivectomie sau o biopsie. Laserele cu diodă pot efectua cu siguranță aceste proceduri (cu hemoragie minimă sau deloc și vindecare postoperatorie excelentă), dar domeniul de aplicare al laserelor dentare oferă mult mai mult.
Laser cu diodă pentru țesuturi moi, de exemplu, sunt excelente pentru jgheab în jurul preparatelor de coroană (fără a necesita un cablu de retragere). Și pot efectua frenectomii, alungirea coroanei (respectând lățimea biologică) și astfel de proceduri parodontale nechirurgicale precum reducerea și chiuretajul bacterian cu laser, managementul ulcerului oral și desensibilizarea dinților.
Taking into consideration all tissue lasers, the versatility of the Er,CR :YS& (Erbium laser) allows for the preparation of teeth from Class I to V, with minimal to no local anesthesia needed especially with deciduous teeth, depending on the patient's condition. Since these lasers have an affinity for hydroxyapatite and water, we can now perform surgical periodontal procedures that include the alteration of boney topography and gingivae.
What's more, zirconium veneers and crowns can be removed easily without cutting the materials. And titanium implant surfaces can be decontaminated when we encounter peri-implantitis.
4. Dentiștii cu lasere dentare sunt la mare căutare
As many patients become more aware of the advances in health care available today, it's not surprising they are now expecting the same options when it comes to their dental care. In fact, the niche technology of dental lasers creates an attraction. A practice that utilizes laser technology can separate itself and generate patient-demand due to safety and convenience measures, as well as superior results. Dentists beginning a practice must have a niche to separate themselves in a competitive market. Data suggests that there is less aerosol production with lasers and thus can provide the patient with a sense of a safe environment.
5. Crește veniturile din practică
All the benefits above directly impact the bottom line. From the increased efficiency to higher quality of patient care, laserele dentare se pot plăti practic de la sine. Dentists must adopt value added revenue. Lasers increase the number of procedures performed in a dental office. Additionally, due to the decreased pain and fear associated with laser technology, patients are more apt to maintain and pursue preventative care visits.
