Laser dentistry

While you may be aware of laser treatments in cosmetic surgery fields, the use of laser dentistry is an innovation. Have you ever heard about laser whitening or a laser dentist? There are many more treatment options of laser dentistry we offer at our dental clinic by expert professionals. Sometimes the traditional drills and sharp dental instruments give the dental clients nightmares. To save patients from dental anxiety laser dentistry may be the right option. 

What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry is an innovative way of dental care that is less painful or more effective than conventional methods. Thanks to dental lasers, our efficient dentists now carry out numerous procedures with a higher level of precision. 

Hollywood has designed the way we think about lasers. Lasers are hot beams of light that can cut through anything. For this reason, some people are nervous when it comes to laser dentistry. This delusion cannot be further from the truth. Keep reading the article to understand more about laser dentistry and how our valued customers are gaining benefits from laser treatment. 

What are the Types of Lasers in Dentistry?

Being aware of what laser dentistry is will assist you in better comprehending why our dentists use it to treat patients. This type of dentistry uses a dental laser that releases narrow and effective light beams to eradicate or modify the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.

There are a few types of procedures that are typically less invasive than using a sharp instrument. Often, there is less pain and bleeding when using lasers. You can also experience a faster recovery time if you will get laser treatment from our laser dentist. Since there is not as much pain during these procedures, our dentist may not even have to use local anesthesia.

Types of laser dental procedures include:

HARD TISSUE PROCEDURES

Hard tissue lasers use wavelengths that are absorbed inside the tooth or bone. Our Dentists use lasers to cut hard tissue in the mouth. Hard lasers decrease the requirement for anesthesia for procedures such as fillings, other procedures include:

  • Composite bonding preparation and shaping of the teeth. 
  • Reshaping the worn-out fillings
  • Remove minor amounts of tooth structure
  • Treating teeth sensitivity – sensitivity to hot and cold is the result of the open tub

SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES

Laser dentistry is ideal for treating gum issues as it can cut into soft tissue while instantaneously sealing the blood vessels. This helps to diminish bleeding and lessen the healing time. Apart from this, laser treatments efficiently kill bacteria in the mouth, tumbling the risk of infection after treatment. 

Laser dentistry in soft tissues includes:

  • Laser gum surgery: eradicates these procedures as the laser can eliminate dead tissue while killing bacteria.
  • Modifying uneven or inconsistent gum lines
  • Address the tongue movement
  • Lengthening crowns
  • Eliminating folds in oral soft tissue often caused by dentures

Is laser Dentistry more Expensive?

Various Laser treatments vary in price, reliant on the technique being done and the laser equipment. Associated with non-laser treatment, they may be less expensive because laser treatment is usually done in fewer sessions.

Therefore, your reimbursement is likely to be the same as it would be with drilling and other measures. However, it’s always significant to ask about your explicit policy earlier to get the most precise information.
