Dr. Gentry customizes MLS treatment based on your unique needs and your specific level of discomfort. MLS treatment is quick and non-invasive, and our patients love the results.
What Conditions Can MLS Therapy Help?
Your Charlotte dentist can use MLS therapy for various situations and procedures, such as:
- Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) pain, symptoms, and discomfort
- Reduction of post-operative discomfort or swelling after procedures like tooth extraction or dental implant placement surgery
- Pain associated with oral trauma or an accident
- Relief from chronic headaches or migraines
Many patients seek out dental laser treatment in Charlotte because they’re looking for gentle, medication-free ways to manage discomfort or speed up healing after a procedure. MLS therapy is ideal in these cases, offering precise treatment tailored to the area of concern, without impacting surrounding healthy tissue. The laser technology works deep within the tissues to support faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation.
Patients often appreciate that MLS therapy can be combined with other services as part of a comprehensive care plan. For instance, those undergoing dental surgery or cosmetic enhancements can benefit from this laser’s healing capabilities, resulting in a smoother recovery and less downtime.
How MLS Therapy Works – Painfree Dentistry in Charlotte
The dental laser breaks the cycle of pain and discomfort by manipulating cellular activity with absorbable wavelengths of light that promote enzyme production. As a result, the patient only feels light pulses and relief from their pain during the procedure.
MLS therapy is ideal for patients with pain in their neck, head, teeth, or jaw joints, and most patients experience relief within minutes.
By choosing dental laser treatment in Charlotte with Dr. Gentry, you’re opting for cutting-edge dental technology that aligns with a natural, holistic philosophy. It’s an excellent choice for patients looking to avoid prescription medication, reduce inflammation, and return to daily life faster after treatment.
Additionally, because MLS therapy is non-invasive, there is no need for needles, incisions, or lengthy healing times, making it suitable for patients of all ages. Whether you are a new patient seeking natural solutions or a long-time patient looking to manage chronic pain, this treatment can easily become part of your regular care.
