Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry involves the use of lasers for various dental procedures. It utilizes focused light beams to treat different dental conditions with precision and minimal discomfort for patients. Some common applications include:
- Gum Disease Treatment: Lasers can be used to remove diseased gum tissue and bacteria during periodontal treatments.
- Cavity Treatment: Lasers can remove decayed tissue from teeth and prepare them for fillings, often without the need for anesthesia.
- Soft Tissue Procedures: They are used for reshaping gums, removing benign oral tumors, and treating oral lesions.
- Whitening: Laser-assisted teeth whitening procedures can enhance the effectiveness of whitening agents.
- Biopsy: Lasers can be used to remove tissue for biopsy purposes.
