What Are Dental Lasers?
A laser is a highly concentrated beam of light. There are various kinds of lasers used in dentistry. Ultimately, it works by concerting electrical energy into laser light. It can be used for a wide range of different purposes, including various dental procedures.
Types of Laser Dental Treatments
Dental lasers are used for many different dental treatments – from cosmetic procedures to treating infections. Here are some of the services that we use our dental laser for.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth. It can be devastating for your oral structures and even result in tooth loss. To help our patients defeat gum disease, we may use our dental laser to remove infected tissue. It also helps to kill harmful bacteria in the mouth, making it easier for patients to recover.
Gum Recontouring
If you have an excess of gum tissue or an uneven gumline, our dental laser can help you achieve a more proportionate smile. It can gently trim away specific areas of tissue from the gumline, creating a healthy, beautiful frame for your smile.
The Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry comes with numerous benefits. Here are some of the most prominent ones:
- Faster Recovery: Patients recover from laser procedures more quickly than those performed with traditional dental tools. Laser dentistry also reduces the need for sutures.
- Minimizes Bleeding: The dental laser can cauterize tissue as it moves.
- More Comfortable: Lasers can reduce or eliminate the need for anesthetics and sedation.
- Quick Treatments: Dental lasers help us move more quickly and precisely.
