Lasers have been used in dentistry to cure a wide range of conditions. These lasers differ from the cold lasers used in phototherapy for headaches, pain, and inflammation relief.
Hard tissue and soft tissue procedures are the two most common forms of laser dentistry treatments. the gums are known as soft tissue and that’s what we work with in our clinic
lasers are used to reshape gums and kill bacteria. A tiny fragment of tissue (called a biopsy) may be removed with a laser and tested for cancer. Canker sores are also treated with lasers to remove lesions in the mouth and ease discomfort, and Helps to ease jaw pressure and the headache that comes with it.
Teeth whitening. Lasers are used to speed up teeth whitening practices in the workplace. Laser energy “activates” a peroxide bleaching solution added to the tooth surface, speeding up the whitening process.
How Do Lasers in Dentistry Work?
Lasers deliver energy in the form of light, which is how they function. The laser functions as a cutting tool or a vaporizer of tissue when used for surgical and dental procedures. The laser serves as a heat source and increases the effect of tooth-whitening agents when used in teeth-whitening procedures.
Advantages in laser dentistry with other techniques
Soft tissue lasers may theoretically eliminate the need for sutures.
Since the laser stimulates blood clotting, bleeding of treated soft tissues is reduced.
Anesthesia is not needed for certain procedures.
Since the laser sterilizes the environment, the risk of bacterial infections is reduced.
Wounds can heal quicker, and tissue regeneration is possible.
It’s possible that the treatments would do less harm to the underlying tissues.
