Experience Painless Dental Treatments with Laser-enhanced Dentistry
Laser dentistry explained
Laser dentistry uses a small device that emits a narrow but concentrated beam of light energy. The laser is powerful enough to cut or vaporize the target tissue immediately on contact. The laser beam cauterizes during treatment, which keeps bleeding at a minimum and makes the procedure less traumatic.
Soft tissue lasers work on soft tissues like the gums. We can use soft tissue lasers to remove excess tissue and reshape your gums for cosmetic and restorative treatments. Soft tissues reduce the need for anesthesia shots because the procedure is painless.Applications of laser dentistry
Dental lasers have safely been used in dentistry since their FDA approval in 1990. Laser dentistry is taking dental treatments by storm because of its conservative nature and high success rate.
The many uses of dental lasers in dentistry include:
- Gum disease treatment
- Gum contouring to fix a gummy smile
- Treating cold and canker sores
- Exposing wisdom teeth
- Sanitizing your tooth to prepare for a root canal
Benefits of laser dentistry
Dental lasers are so precise, enabling the dentist to narrow in on diseased tissues without damaging the adjacent healthy tissues. Besides precise treatment, the other benefits of laser dentistry include:
- Painless treatment
- Reduced noise, vibrations, and pressure during treatment
- Faster healing time
- Faster tissue regeneration
- Reduced risk of infection after treatment
