Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a laser treatment that provides a clinically proven, non-invasive solution for pain management.
To reduce pain in your jaw joint muscles and other sore areas, PBM utilizes low-level, visible-red to near-infrared light energy. This energy stimulates cells to naturally heal, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.
The laser promotes tissue regeneration, stimulation of cell metabolism, increased lymphatic flow and simulation of micro-circulation. Nice!

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an advanced light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function and promote healing. In dentistry, this non-invasive treatment delivers low-level light energy to oral tissues, reducing inflammation, accelerating tissue repair, and relieving pain. The light energy works at the cellular level to increase circulation, enhance cell metabolism, and stimulate natural healing processes. Our dental practice uses PBM therapy to complement various treatments, providing more comfortable experiences and faster recovery times.
Photobiomodulation effectively addresses numerous dental conditions including TMJ disorders, post-procedure pain, oral mucositis, cold sores, persistent inflammation, and certain types of nerve pain. It's also beneficial for accelerating healing after surgical procedures like extractions, implant placements, and gum treatments. Many patients with dental anxiety appreciate PBM as a gentle approach to managing discomfort. The therapy can be integrated into various treatment plans to enhance outcomes and improve your overall dental experience.
Photobiomodulation is completely painless—most patients feel only a gentle warming sensation or nothing at all during treatment. Sessions typically last 5-15 minutes depending on the area being treated. The number of sessions varies based on your specific condition and treatment goals. Acute issues might resolve with 2-3 treatments, while chronic conditions often benefit from a series of 6-10 sessions spaced over several weeks. Your dentist will create a customized treatment plan and adjust the frequency based on your response to therapy.
