What are the benefits of red-light near-infrared therapy at the dentist?

Red light near-infrared (NIR) therapy, sometimes called photobiomodulation (PBM), promotes cell repair by stimulating circulation and renewing cells. It is not an invasive technology, but instead relies on wavelengths and energies to heal and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used in dental surgeries involving the gums, jaws, and teeth. 

The technology is about reducing or potentially eliminating pain and discomfort so patients can get the treatments they need and want. 

At Providence Dental Care, NIR therapy in West Lakes is part of our rounded commitment to patient comfort. We want your procedures to be as straightforward as possible, and NIR helps us toward that goal. 

Patient experiences will vary, so ask your dentist what to expect.
