Laser Dentistry Information |
|
In addition to the widely known application of lasers for in-office teeth-whitening treatments, lasers have also been found to be very effective for cavity detection and preparation, crown lengthening, and oral surgeries involving bone and gums. Other procedures related to periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry have also benefited from the use of lasers. The continuing advances in laser technology promise further benefits and advantages of lasers in oral health care.

Laser Dentistry Education |
One of the major benefits of laser dentistry is that its use is essentially pain-free, regardless of the procedure in which it is used. Laser dentistry can eliminate the use of the scalpels, drills, needles, and other dental tools that cause a patient discomfort and pain. Lasers are also very precise and controlled, minimizing the trauma from dental treatment.

Laser dentistry technology has greatly improved many dental procedures. With dental lasers, the need for anesthesia is reduced or eliminated, bleeding can be minimized, and swelling is controlled. Restorative materials such as dental crowns cure more quickly and to a greater hardness, and tooth-whitening agents work faster and more effectively with lasers.
