Laser dentistry is one of the newest developments in the dental field. We offer many different types of lasers and laser procedures. Some lasers are used to assess and diagnose dental problems, while others are used to treat complex dental issues. Some of the major advantages of laser dentistry include:
In many cases, laser dentistry is used in conjunction with traditional dental procedures. Lasers frequently augment conventional techniques, making them safer and more effective.
In other cases, laser dentistry provides treatments that simply were not available in the past. Laser periodontal therapy for example is a new approach to treating gum disease. Laser light kills the bacteria for up to three months, seals the vessels and nerve endings, and produces little if any pain.
Laser gum recontouring is another treatment that allows dentists to tone down a gummy smile. Lasers can also be used to treat cold sores with no anaesthesia, providing immediate relief.
