Unfortunately, many people equate going to the dentist with pain. Because of past negative experiences or worry about a dental procedure being uncomfortable or painful, millions of Americans have a level of dental anxiety. This anxiety can make those who need dental care avoid going to the dentist which can cause their dental issues to worsen.

What is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy is an advanced non-invasive treatment for pain management. Also known as cold laser therapy, MLS actually stands for multi-wave locked system, in which multiple light wavelengths are used within the laser. Because of the multiple wavelengths, this laser is able to simultaneously penetrate and pinpoint to not only block the source of the pain but to actually promote new cell repair and growth in the area as well.
The accelerated healing of MLS Laser Therapy works because the laser boosts cellular energy, allowing it to absorb nutrients quicker while also stimulating blood circulation, which helps, in turn, deliver those nutrients at a quicker rate. It’s these processes that help promote faster healing and recovery in patients.
MLS Laser Therapy is used for the management of many types of chronic pain including sports injuries, nerve issues, and arthritis, but at our office, we use it to treat:
- Tooth pain
- Back pain
- Migraines
- TMJ pain
MLS Laser Therapy Treatment Session
The treatment session itself is quite quick at roughly 10 minutes, with the number of treatments needed depending on your level of pain and discomfort. There are many benefits to MLS Laser Therapy, which include:
- Non-surgical pain relief
- Lessening of pain and inflammation without the use of medication
- Improved blood circulation
- Increased nerve function
- Quicker healing
- Faster recovery period
Why Choose Adler Advanced Dentistry for MLS Laser Therapy
At Adler Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Michael Adler has extensive experience in general, cosmetic, and neuromuscular dentistry, with advanced postgraduate training at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. This background allows him to evaluate how factors such as jaw position, muscle tension, bite alignment, and oral inflammation may contribute to your symptoms before recommending treatment.
Our Boulder dental practice also emphasizes advanced technology, individualized care, and patient education. If MLS Laser Therapy may be appropriate for you, Dr. Adler will explain how it fits into your overall treatment plan, what you can expect, and whether other therapies should be considered alongside it. The goal is to provide gentle, noninvasive care that supports comfort, healing, and long-term oral health while keeping you informed and involved in treatment decisions.

MLS Laser Therapy delivers therapeutic light without the heat commonly associated with some higher-powered lasers. Patients generally do not feel uncomfortable warmth during treatment.

Yes. Because MLS Laser Therapy is noninvasive and requires no downtime, most patients can return to work or other normal activities right away.
In most cases, MLS Laser Therapy itself does not require dietary restrictions. Dr. Adler may provide different instructions if the laser treatment is used in conjunction with another dental procedure.
Some patients may notice improvement within the first one to three treatment sessions, while others may require additional sessions before experiencing noticeable changes. Results can include reduced pain, less swelling, and improved function.
This varies depending on the condition, its severity, and your individual response to therapy. Because the effects can be cumulative, completing the treatment plan Dr. Adler recommends may help provide the best possible outcome.
Special preparation is generally minimal. Dr. Adler and our team will let you know if there are any specific instructions based on the area being treated and your overall treatment plan.
Dr. Adler will evaluate your symptoms, oral health, jaw function, and the location of your discomfort to determine which areas to treat. The laser can then be directed precisely to the areas where therapy may be beneficial.
Additional treatment may be considered if symptoms return, depending on the cause of your discomfort and your previous response to therapy. Dr. Adler can reassess your condition and determine whether another course of MLS Laser Therapy is appropriate.
Dr. Adler will consider your symptoms, dental and medical history, examination findings, and the underlying cause of your discomfort. He can then decide whether to use MLS Laser Therapy on its own or as part of a broader dental or TMJ treatment plan.
