Picasso Laser

Picasso Laser dental treatment

In years past, patients could often face particular challenges during and after dental procedures. The issues frequently involved the limitations of traditional dental tools such as scalpels, rotary instruments and electrosurgery units.

Today, Oswego Dental Group removes many such challenges with a high-performance Picasso laser, an advanced diode laser system specifically designed for dentists.

How the Diode Laser Works

Oswego Dental Group dentists use the Picasso dental diode laser system for soft-tissue applications. It is different from the diagnostic laser we use to painlessly detect tooth decay.

The diode laser focuses a concentrated light beam of multiple intensities through a fiber-optic tip. When the tip touches soft tissue, the tissue absorbs the light energy, which heats and cuts the tissue. The laser also seals the tissue by cauterizing it, reducing bleeding and pain.

With the non-invasive diode laser, we can:

precisely cut, remove or vaporize soft tissue without stitches

coagulate blood vessels

sterilize treatment areas

reduce bacteria inflammation

limit procedural swelling

reduce or eliminate the need for anesthesia

contribute to swifter healing and less downtime for patients

Common procedures for which we use the Picasso laser at higher intensities include:

  • gingival contouring (reshaping gum tissue)
  • crown lengthening
  • frenectomy (tongue-tie or lip-tie release)
  • periodontal therapy (pocket disinfection)
  • removal of gum-tissue overgrowth
  • removal of soft-tissue lesions
  • exposure of implant sites
  • tissue troughing for impressions & scanning

Some patients also can achieve relief from aphthous ulcers (canker sores) through multiple rounds of low-intensity diode laser therapy.

Before Dental Diode Lasers

Introduced by AMD Lasers in 2009, the Picasso laser quickly became one of the world’s most widely used lasers for general and cosmetic dentistry.

Prior to the diode laser, dental patients often contended with:

Unease

Scalpel-based procedures involved cutting soft tissue, which was invasive and painful.

Patients often needed injections for local anesthesia, which could further raise discomfort and anxiety. Some patients might have delayed or avoided treatment for this reason as well.

Post-operative pain and swelling also could be more pronounced because of tissue trauma.

More bleeding

Scalpel incisions often caused notable bleeding during dental procedures.

Extra bleeding could obscure the field of vision for the dentist, prolonging procedures.

The bleeding could be especially problematic for patients who had a bleeding disorder or took blood thinners.

Longer healing time

The tissue damage that could accompany traditional procedures sometimes resulted in slower healing, higher risk of bacterial infection and additional post-op complications.

Sutures

Many soft-tissue surgeries required sutures (stitches) to close incisions.

In addition to being uncomfortable, sutures increased healing time and often required a follow-up visit for removal.

Limited treatment options

Some minimally invasive or cosmetic soft-tissue treatments, such as gingival recontouring, could be time-consuming and, for some, seen as too unpleasant to justify.

Diode Lasers: Making Dentistry Even Better

Dentistry has long been a crucial practice but also one that had been associated with distress. The dentists at Oswego Dental Group represent the profession’s goal to offer ever-improving dental care in ways that provide swifter treatments with less pain, discomfort and recovery time.

To achieve this, our dentists seek resources that save time, enhance patient-treatment flow and reduce post-op complications. Other dental lasers had preceded the Picasso laser, but many were expensive, complex to operate and often reserved for expensive procedures.

The Picasso dental laser allows us to efficiently treat oral soft issues without steep learning curves and major capital investments. Premium laser technology is now a part of affordable everyday dental practice that improves patient outcomes.

Dental diode lasers also only continue to get better. Since the launch of the original Picasso laser in 2009, other models with upgraded features and usability were introduced in the 2010s. In the 2020s, the lasers are being used even more for dental hygiene. The diode lasers’ global adoption continues as well.

Diode Laser: Patient Benefits

Cauterization of blood vessels as the laser cuts, resulting in little to no bleeding

Sterilization of the treatment site, reducing bacterial load and enhancing results, especially in periodontal therapy

Less trauma to tissues, leading to quicker healing and less swelling after treatment

Diode Laser: Practice Benefits

Enhanced efficiency with safer, cleaner, more-accurate incisions; versatility for a wide range of treatments without the need for outside referral

User-friendly design with features such as wireless foot controls and intuitive touchscreens that simplify operation

Improved patient experience leading to higher patient satisfaction

Diode Laser & Traditional Methods: Head to Head

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of how patients often anticipated dental visits before and after diode lasers such as the Picasso laser became part of modern dentistry.

Aspect Diode Laser Traditional Methods
Tools used Soft-tissue diode laser Scalpels, electrosurgery units, dental drills
Anesthesia Often minimal or unnecessary Often required, even minor procedures
Pain & discomfort Reduced pain, less tissue trauma More post-op pain (cuts, inflammation)
Bleeding Minimal to none Common during and after
Healing time Faster Longer
Infection risk Lower (laser sterilizes tissue) Higher (open wounds, more exposure)
Sutures Rare Frequent for closing incisions
Procedure time Shorter Longer (prep, bleeding control, suturing)
Noise/Vibration Quiet, vibration-free Noisy drills and electrosurgery
Anxiety Level Lower (fewer invasive steps) Higher (needles, cutting, bleeding)
Kids & special needs Better tolerated (gentler approach) Difficult to manage behaviorally

Dental Laser Quick Fact

The first dental laser for soft-tissue procedures was approved by the FDA in 1989, a few decades after Theodore Maiman’s 1960 invention of the first ruby laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Maiman’s laser was too powerful to use for dental tissues, but it inspired the concepts for the dental and medical lasers that would follow.

When my dentist of many years retired, I knew I would have to find another one to replace him. I had a “fear” of dentists, and I didn’t want to just randomly call another one. I searched online and read many, many reviews of other dentists, but I kept coming back to the Oswego Dental Group. The reviews were all five stars, and I thought to myself if even HALF the reviews are accurate, I’ll start there. But I wasn’t in a hurry…….who actually loves going to the dentist? I didn’t! Then I cracked a tooth a few weeks ago and knew I had to get it taken care of. I called Oswego Dental Group to set up an appointment on 2/25 and they fit me in on 2/26. From the moment I walked into the building until I left an hour and a half later, I realized the reviews I’d read were 100% spot on! I’m not familiar enough with everyone there to know all their names yet, but the dental assistant I had was absolutely wonderful in every possible way. Her sense of professionalism mixed with light hearted humor put me at ease immediately. Dr. MacDonald was the same ~ very professional, but with a good mix of humor, too. He checked out the tooth that I’d cracked and explained everything clearly to me. I walked out of there with a temporary crown on my tooth while a new one is being made. For someone who was once fearful of dentists, I have zero hesitation or concern of returning to Oswego Dental Group in a few weeks for the final crown to be put on my tooth. I was warmly greeted by staff members the moment I walked in the door, and felt the same sense of caring until the moment left. I would 100% recommend Oswego Dental Group to anyone ~ ESPECIALLY to anyone who has any hesitation about needing dental work!

We had a wonderful experience with Dr Milazzo and Ann. I called to ask for a consultation and got an appointment the next morning. Upon arriving we were greeted and shown to the back. My husband (70 yrs old) had a baby tooth that needed to be pulled but he is on blood thinners and has an LVAD (heart pump) and we always encounter people not wanting to help him because of his medical condition. But Dr Milazzo and his assistant Ann were like a breath of fresh air! They took great care of my husband and he got in there and pulled the tooth without a problem. It was amazing to be in a dentist office with such caring kind professional’s. We have found our dentist.
Thank you so much Anthony Milazzo and Ann for taking such great care of my husband.

I had my teeth cleaned, xrays, and checked. They did a thorough job and I was very happy with the experience. I would recommend Oswego Dental Group.

I used to not be a fan of going to the dentist…was just a necessary evil that I knew had to be done. Not the case here. Everyone we’ve dealt with has been great. Highly recommend them.

For the past twenty (20) years, the Oswego Dental Group has been my go to for all dental treatment needs. I have found that they consistently improve by providing excellent treatment using the most up-to-date practice tools and technologies. Additionally, the Staff from the front office to technicians are the best with a special shout-out to Pam.

Our family needed to find a new dentist since ours retired. We were going to him for over 35 years so picking a new office was a little nerve racking. From the very beginning the office made us feel very welcome. My children were very nervous at first but the moment the hygienists called their names the nerves faded since they were both very warm, friendly and caring. They were even comfortable enough to go by themselves.
I also had Amy for my appointment the next week and she was excellent. Also, Dr. Milazzo was great as well. I highly recommend Oswego Dental Group!

Dr. Milazzo was amazing with my 7 year old daughter. She got her first filling done and I loved that he spoke to HER (as the patient) and not just me. He showed her what everything did and sounded like before he started. He also explained what everything was that was going in her mouth. I was very impressed with how everything went! The dental hygienists are also amazing!

Dr Milazzo, Sally and the whole staff are the best. THE BEST. I was a mess and had been in pain for a long time before finally finding Dr. Milazzo. I spent a lot of time and a lot of money going to another dentist that just kept making everything worse…I was literally living on protien drinks because it hurt too much to chew. It took a little time (I needed a lot of work done) but Dr Milazzo fixed everything and I can finally eat again. I’m forever grateful for Oswego Dental Group and would without hesitation recommend them.

I love going to my dentist! For 13 years I have never been disappointed and I greatly appreciate how personable and kind the Hygenists have always been! Today my visit was with Pam. I appreciate the time she took to ask how My family and I were going. Dr, MacDonald also took the time to explain a small upcoming procedure I would be having and in doing so put my doubts at ease! Thank you!!!!

Best dentist experience. Everyone from the receptionist to Dr Milazzo and Dr Macdonald are very friendly. Pam is an amazing dental hygienist. She is absolutely fantastic. Extremely thorough and friendly. I’m sure everyone is great as well but I’ve only had the pleasure of having my teeth cleaned by Pam and have no need to search elsewhere. Thanks everyone at Oswego Dental Group for making my dental visit a good one.
