Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is the use of lasers to treat a number of different dental conditions.
Laser dentistry potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue compared to drills and other non-laser tools.
LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” The instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam. This laser light produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to remove or shape the tissue.
Laser dentistry is used in a variety of procedures, including:
- Treating Hypersensitivity
- Treating Tooth decay and Root Canal Treatment
- Treating Gum Disease
- Whitening Teeth
Lasers can make dental treatments more efficient, cost effective, and comfortable.
