Laser Dentistry Q & A

What is laser dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses narrow, focused beams of light to perform a wide variety of dental procedures in a minimally invasive fashion.

Laser dentistry provides a safe and effective way to cut through hard and soft tissues, including tooth enamel and gums. It’s cost-effective, efficient, and comfortable.

What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

Compared to traditional oral surgery, laser dentistry provides an array of benefits, including:

Little or no need for anesthesia
Reduced heat, vibration, and pressure
Fewer postoperative complications
Virtually no bleeding
Reduced pain and swelling

Because laser dentistry causes less damage to your gums and surrounding tissues, it also boasts quicker recovery times.

What treatments does laser dentistry provide?

At The Center for High Tech Dentistry, the team uses laser dentistry to perform a wide range of procedures, including:

Cavity preparation (can be performed without local anesthesia)
Treatment for canker sores and cold sores
Cosmetic gum contouring to reduce a “gummy” smile and gingival hypertrophy
Removal of soft tissue lesions and ulcers
Minimally invasive periodontal treatment, including pocket reduction
Frenectomy (tongue-tie correction)

The team also houses laser dentistry to expose dental implants.

Am I a good candidate for laser dentistry?

To determine if you’re a good candidate for laser dentistry, the team conducts an oral exam, reviews your oral health history, and asks about your lifestyle and treatment goals. They then evaluate the dental problem, and if laser therapy is a better approach to treatment, then the use of the laser will be discussed with you.

After gathering the necessary information, the team develops a custom care plan that aligns with your needs. Whenever possible, the team opts for laser dentistry over traditional oral techniques. This allows for better treatment outcomes, quicker recovery, and improved oral health.

Is laser dentistry safe?

Laser dentistry is safe and usually well-tolerated. During treatment, the team has you wear a pair of special protective glasses. The glasses shield your eyes from the laser and ensure your comfort throughout the entire appointment.

Following laser dentistry, the team sends you home with a list of recovery instructions. Follow them carefully and take any medication as prescribed.
