Laser Dentistry for Ultimate Results

Dental lasers have revolutionized treatment practices and allowed dentists to decrease patient anxiety by increasing comfort. The term laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers generate a precise beam of concentrated light to perform a variety of therapies. Hard and soft tissue procedures include cavity detection, decay removal, root canal disinfection, gum recontouring, tissue reduction, biopsies, and periodontal repair. Some teeth whitening and cavity detection systems also use lasers.

These are just a few benefits of dental lasers for surgical applications:

• Drastically reduce or eliminate surgical pain
• Eliminate cross-contamination
• Aid in micro-surgical procedures
• Decrease bleeding
• Cut down or eliminate need for sutures (stitches)
• Reduce recovery time

Ask your dentist about laser therapy at your next dental visit.
