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.
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.
Soft tissue lasers use a wavelength that are tuned to cutting into soft tissue as well as sealing any exposed blood vessels simultaneously. During soft tissue laser surgery, not much blood is to be expected and generally post-surgery healing is quicker. Soft tissue lasers are suitable for tasks like modifying crowns, gum reshaping and moving soft tissue.
How is the procedure different from regular dental procedures?
Laser dentistry, employing focused light beams, offers precision, reduced discomfort and minimized bleeding compared with traditional methods. It minimizes the need for drills, decreases swelling and accelerates healing. Lasers provides a modern alternative with improved patient experience and faster recovery.
