Welcome to Pearl Street Dental, where innovative dental technologies meet exceptional patient care. Located in the heart of Boulder, our dedicated team is committed to providing you with state-of-the-art treatments that enhance both your oral health and overall well-being. One of the cutting-edge therapies we're proud to offer is Photobiomodulation, a type of dental laser therapy and a revolutionary approach in modern dentistry.
Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment method that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. Originally developed for medical applications, PBM has quickly gained recognition in the dental community for its remarkable ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration.
During your treatment at Pearl Street Dental, we’ll use a specialized laser that emits specific wavelengths of light energy that can penetrate deep into your tissues. This light energy is absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, which are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell. The mitochondria then convert this light energy into chemical energy, stimulating cellular function and improving cell proliferation and repair. These fast and painless treatments can help with everything from cold sore healing and TMJ pain to reducing soreness and healing time after a procedure.
At Pearl Street Dental, we integrate PBM into various aspects of our practice to provide comprehensive care for our patients. Here are some common applications of PBM in our treatments:
