Laser dentistry is a versatile and effective tool that can be used for a variety of dental procedures. Lasers can be used to remove tooth decay, prepare teeth for fillings, whiten teeth, and treat gum disease. Other benefits of laser dentistry include:
- Less pain and discomfort: Lasers can be used to numb the area around the tooth before a procedure. This can help reduce or eliminate the need for local anesthesia. In addition, lasers can be used to vaporize tooth decay, which eliminates the need for drills or other invasive instruments.
- Faster healing: This tool can often promote quicker healing than traditional methods by minimizing bleeding and lowering the need for stiches.
- Reduced risk of infection: Lasers can help kill bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.
- More accurate results:Lasers can be used to remove very specific areas of tooth decay or to prepare teeth for fillings, crowns or veneers. This can result in fewer complications and a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.
- Less damage: This tool is less likely to damage your surrounding gum tissue.
Lasers are also becoming increasingly popular for cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and smile makeovers. In addition to being more comfortable for patients, laser dentistry can often provide quicker and more consistent results than traditional methods.
