More about laser dentistry

Laser dentistry offers you many benefits that traditional handpieces don’t. When you choose laser dentistry, you will enjoy:

  • More comfortable treatment, in some cases even alleviating the need for anesthetic
  • Much quicker treatment, with minimal downtime and shorter healing time
  • Less risk of infection with less bleeding during and after treatment
  • Faster treatment because lasers work much faster than surgical tools and handpieces
  • Conservative treatment because less tissue is removed
  • Beautiful results because laser treatment is much more precise than conventional tools

These are just a few of the most common hard and soft tissue uses of lasers in dentistry:

  • Detecting tiny areas of decay that can’t be detected with conventional tools
  • Removing decay and preparing teeth for dental restorations
  • Etching the tooth surface to prepare teeth for dental restorations
  • Examining soft tissue and helping to detect early signs of oral cancer
  • Killing bacteria in deep periodontal pocket areas to help heal infected tissue
  • Removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth and create a harmonious smile
  • Recontouring gum tissue to create a more balanced, more beautiful smile
