Laser Dentistry
Is the use of lasers to treat various dental conditions. Here’s what you need to know:
Types of Procedures:
Hard Tissue Procedures (related to teeth):
Cavity Detection: Lasers can find cavities early by detecting evidence of tooth decay.
Tooth Preparations and Dental Fillings: Laser treatments can often replace local anesthesia and traditional drills for filling cavities. They also help kill bacteria, promoting long-term tooth health.
Treating Tooth Sensitivity: Dental lasers seal tubules on the tooth’s root, addressing sensitivity to hot and cold.
Soft Tissue Procedures (related to gums):
Reshaping Gum Tissue for “Gummy Smile”: Lasers reshape gum tissue to improve the appearance of a “gummy smile.”
Crown Lengthening: This procedure reshapes both gum tissue and bone, enhancing tooth structure for restorations.
Treating Tongue Frenulum Attachment: Laser frenectomy helps children with restricted frenulum (tongue-tied) issues.
Removing Soft Tissue Folds from Dentures: Lasers remove soft tissue folds without pain or sutures.
Other Laser Procedures:
Viewing Tissues: Optical coherence tomography allows safe visualization inside teeth or gum tissue.
Removing Benign Tumors: Lasers can painlessly remove tumors from the palate, gums, and lips/cheeks sides1.
Advantages:
Comfort: Laser treatments are often more comfortable than traditional methods.
Efficiency: Lasers make dental procedures more efficient.
Cost-Effective: They can reduce costs in the long run.
