Laser Dentistry An Overview
Laser dentistry has revolutionized the field of dentistry. In many cases, dental lasers can be used to treat both hard and soft tissue areas with a higher rate of precision, lesser risk of error, and fewer side effects. The use of dental lasers often gives patients a wider range of minimally invasive dentistry treatments. It may even offer a less invasive, more effective solution to many common dental health issues.
Dental lasers use concentrated energy to penetrate through both soft and hard tissue, which helps reduce the risk of infection, swelling, and bleeding. Unlike other treatments, lasers help promote the body’s natural healing response, making it the ideal solution for a range of general, cosmetic, and restorative dental issues.
What Can Dental Lasers Treat?
We can use dental lasers to treat gum disease, tooth decay, tongue ties, gummy smile, and other oral health conditions. In some cases, lasers can be used to aid in the teeth whitening process.
