Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is a way to correct cavity treatment, gum issues and other oral problems. It is minimally invasive and can be used to alter or remove tissue in small quantities. Some of the conditions that can be tackled with laser dentistry include root canals, gum diseases, biopsies, oral tumours removal, cold sores and cankers as well as reshaping overgrown gum tissue or cutting of gums.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Less discomfort and faster healing
Reduced need for anaesthesia
Quicker healing time
Less swelling and bleeding
Reduced likelihood of infection as the procedure addresses only the diseased or affected area
Hard tissue lasers, with a specific setting that cuts through both water and bone tissue, are used on teeth, particularly enamel made of calcium phosphate. They offer extreme accuracy and can be utilised for tasks such as carving out enamel for fillings, detecting hidden cavities, and may be preferred over dental drills for patients with sensitivity.
