What is laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry is a modern and innovative approach to dental care. It uses laser technology to treat various dental issues, such as:
- Tooth decay (cavities)
- Gum disease
- Discolored teeth
- Oral lesions, such as canker sores
- A gummy smile
- Tooth sensitivity
The dental team may also use a laser to collect a biopsy for testing without surgically cutting into your skin with a scalpel or needle.
How do dentists use laser dentistry?
The Denta Smiles team uses laser dentistry in several ways, such as:
Periodontics
The team treats gum disease by removing infected tissue and bacteria with precise soft-tissue lasers, promoting healthier gums and reducing inflammation.
Restorative treatments
Lasers carefully remove decay to prepare teeth for fillings, making the process more comfortable and efficient.
Orthodontics
The NV PRO3 Microlaser can reshape gums and bone to assist with placing braces.
Oral surgeries
The team’s laser can safely perform biopsies and remove lesions from inside and around your mouth.
How does laser dentistry work?
During a laser procedure, the team adjusts the laser to different wavelengths and intensities depending on the treatment. When the laser targets the tissue, the light energy cuts, vaporizes, or reshapes it.
For example, the laser removes diseased tissue during gum treatments while sterilizing the area and promoting healing. During cavity removal, the laser precisely eliminates decayed parts of the tooth without affecting the surrounding healthy enamel.
The heat from the laser seals blood vessels and nerve endings, which reduces bleeding and discomfort.
Does laser dentistry hurt?
Laser dentistry is typically less painful than traditional oral surgery. Using a focused beam of energy and heat allows the team to perform precise and minimally invasive procedures, often resulting in less discomfort and quicker healing times.
Other popular benefits of laser dentistry include:
- Reduced bleeding
- Lower risk of infection
- Faster recovery
- Better precision
- Less swelling
- Decreased need for anesthesia
