However, most restorations at our office do not require a shot. We may sometimes still need to give an injection and perform the procedure through traditional methods. There are exceptions of course, such as when the tooth is already sensitive to cold air/water or if the decay extends very deep, near to the nerves (tooth pulp) or if we are removing a metal filling. No-needle, no-shot fillings may be the advantage patients appreciate the most! Because a laser removes decayed tissue without friction or heat, most fillings can be done pain-free, without injections. Perhaps foremost in the minds of our patients, is that we can provide most (though not all) fillings without the need for injection of local anesthetic. Below is a brief description of how we utilize lasers at Inspire Dental of Maine. The role and use of lasers in dentistry has grown considerably in the last several decades.
