Dental lasers have the ability to provide a wide variety of treatments, from teeth whitening to gum re-contouring; lasers can make dental treatments safer, faster, and less painful.

Read on to learn more about advanced dental treatment with laser technology and its benefits.

• Laser Dentistry

Most patients do not look forward to drilling, needles, or numbness, and that is where laser dentistry comes in. Laser dentistry is one of the major dentistry’s latest advances. The laser delivers energy in the form of light and depending on the intended outcome, this energy travels at different wavelengths and gets absorbed by the target. These targets can be gum tissue, enamel, tooth decay, or whitening enhancers. Each of the targets absorbs a different wavelength of light while reflecting others.

Laser dentistry can be applied for both soft tissue and tooth-related procedures. In most instances, no local anesthesia will be needed, unlike with the dental drill. With laser dentistry, there are no vibrations or heat, thus making the procedure comfortable for most patients. For surgical procedures, laser dentistry eliminates the need for cutting the tissues, and the healing process is much faster. Additionally, lasers can be used to diagnose dental cavities. They can easily spot hidden cavities in the early stages, therefore making it easy to treat the decay before it worsens.

• Precision Treatment for Better Oral Health

Dental lasers come in two major categories for use on either soft or hard tissue. These two categories allow for targeted treatment that is incredibly precise. This high-tech control helps the dentist to clean periodontal pockets, and remove cavities and stains from teeth in controllable increments. Dental lasers can be used for various treatments such as:

• Crown lengthening to improve a gummy smile.
• Muscle pain therapy to treat TMJ disorders.
• Quick healing of cold sores.
• Frenum removal to correct tongue-tie
• Precise tumor removals and biopsies.
• Deep cleaning to restore damage from gum disease.
