What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry, a contemporary dental approach introduced into clinical practice in 1989, harnesses focused beams of light energy to address diverse oral health issues. This innovative technique offers a potentially more comfortable alternative to conventional drills and tools for treating both hard and soft tissues within the oral cavity.

Operating on the principle of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation" (LASER), this technology produces an intensely concentrated beam of light. This beam interacts with targeted tissues, enabling a range of applications such as tissue removal, reshaping, or stimulation, depending on the specific properties of the laser used.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry offers several potential advantages over conventional methods:

•	Enhanced Comfort: Many patients experience less discomfort during laser procedures compared to traditional drills.
•	Reduced Bleeding: Lasers can seal blood vessels as they cut, minimizing bleeding during treatment.
•	Faster Healing: Laser treatment often promotes faster healing times due to minimized tissue trauma.
•	Improved Precision: The focused laser beam allows for more precise procedures.

Who is a Candidate for Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry can be a beneficial option for many patients, especially those who:

•	Experience dental anxiety or fear of traditional dental tools.
•	Have a low tolerance for pain.
•	Have difficulty with traditional anesthesia.
•	Are concerned about bleeding after dental procedures.
•	Desire a faster healing time.

FAQs

How painful is laser deep cleaning?

While laser dentistry may not be entirely painless, its gentle nature often reduces the necessity for anesthesia. With minimal to no bleeding and a lack of prolonged numbness post-treatment, patients experience enhanced comfort throughout their procedure. Moreover, depending on the specific treatment, dental lasers have the capability to partially or completely substitute traditional tools such as scalpels or drills.

Do gums grow back after laser surgery?

Laser gum reshaping is a lasting dental treatment. Once excess gum tissue is eliminated to adjust the gum line and unveil more of the teeth, it does not regenerate.

Can lasers remove tartar?

Laser technology generates remarkably precise beams of energy, enabling us to specifically target plaque and tartar buildup without disturbing the gum tissue around the teeth. This precise approach allows us to effectively disintegrate the plaque and remove it without causing unnecessary irritation. Consequently, this treatment promotes the restoration of gum health, ensuring a more comfortable and rejuvenated oral environment.
