Laser Dentistry

 Laser dentistry can be a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures whilst minimising pain and recovery time. Some of the common procedures which can be assisted with laser dentistry include:

• Crown lengthening
• Gummy smile correction
• Muscle attachment removal
• Removal of benign tumours
• Treatment of cold sores

Benefits of Laser Dentistry?

Here are some of the major benefits associated with laser dentistry:

• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
• Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
• Laser dentistry minimises bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
• Bacterial infections are minimised because the high-energy beam sterilises the area being worked on.
• Damage to surrounding tissue is minimised.
• Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
