Dental lasers work by emitting a focused beam of light energy that can be used to vaporise or remove soft or hard tissue in the mouth. Different types of lasers are used for different purposes, including treating gum disease, removing decay, and reshaping soft tissue.
Lasers can selectively penetrate the particular tissue we want to work on to specific depths that one can programme. In this way, we can very precisely treat select areas without harming the surrounding gums, bone, or tooth structure.
Dental lasers offer many advantages over traditional dental tools, including less discomfort, faster healing, and more precise treatments. They're also much quieter than dental drills, so it's a relief for those of us who are intimidated by that high-pitched whining! Lasers reduce the need for anaesthesia, minimise bleeding and swelling, and lower the risk of infection. They're gentle and usually painless too.
Dental lasers can be used for a wide range of procedures, including:
During a laser treatment, you can expect a comfortable and painless experience. The laser is held close to the treatment area, and you will likely feel no more than a slight tingling sensation. For more extensive procedures, a local anaesthetic is administered. Afterwards, you may experience minimal discomfort or sensitivity, but this should go away quickly.
Traditional dental procedures often involve quite a bit of bleeding. With lasers, there's significantly less bleeding, and you won't have an open wound.
