LASER DENTAL TREATEMENT

Laser dental treatment is a relatively new form of dentistry that uses focused beams of light, or lasers, to perform a variety of procedures – both restorative and cosmetic. The lasers are minimally invasive and highly accurate, often eliminating the need for traditional dental tools such as drills and scalpels. Laser dentistry has become increasingly popular over the last thirty years, as it offers more comfortable, painless, and efficient treatments. Interested in laser dental treatment?

Yes, laser dental treatment is a pain-free treatment. A dental laser eliminates the use of traditional equipment, reducing your need for anaesthetic. Dental lasers are extremely precise and tissue selective, meaning they’re able to treat a specific area of your mouth, without affecting any surrounding teeth and gums. Laser dentistry reduces your risk of developing an infection and speeds up your healing time.

Laser dentistry has many benefits. It’s non-invasive, painless and highly accurate. The precision of the lasers allow for unhealthy tissue to be specifically affected during treatment. Laser dental treatment reduces your need for anaesthetic during procedures and minimises your risk of any bleeding, swelling or infection afterwards. With a shorter recovery time, you’ll heal faster with no complications. Book an appointment today.

Laser dental treatments can perform a variety of different treatments, including both restorative and cosmetic. Some of these treatments include but are not limited to:

Dental Fillings

Dental lasers help ensure healthy gum tissue as part of a dental filling. Often gum tissue may be inflamed or overgrown adjacent to a cavity (hole). The laser is able to recondition this gum tissue back to full health, allowing for a better seal on your filling. The result is a tooth-coloured filling which is long lasting and supported by healthy gum tissue,

Gum Disease Treatments
Dental lasers can assist in gum disease treatments such as deep cleaning and gum disinfection (scaling and root planing). Here the laser is used to aid in disinfection of the gums via special wavelength energy which helps remove the bacteria which are resistant to traditional methods.

Laser Gum Lift
A laser gum lift is a cosmetic treatment performed to increase tooth display for patients with a gummy smile. The dental laser is used to remove the excess gum tissue which has overgrown, exposing the full and natural height of the tooth. Laser gum lift is often performed in combination with porcelain (ceramic) veneer treatment.

Dental Crowns and Bridges
When performing a dental crown, a laser may be used to expose the tooth margins so that the crown can fit optimally. It is common for crowns to extend under the gumline in various areas to protect the tooth, and using a dental laser allows the gum tissue in these areas to be reconditioned to accept the crown. Compared to the traditional approach which involves a retraction cord to push the gums out of the way, a dental laser treatment for your porcelain or ceramic crown will keep the gums healthier.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Dental lasers can assist in removing any gum tissue surrounding the impacted wisdom teeth. If they’re stuck and unable to break through, this cutting-edge technology allows for a seamless exposure process.

Teeth Whitening
Dental lasers can be used to activate the bleaching agent applied to your teeth, speeding up the whitening process.

Teeth Sensitivity Treatment
Dental lasers seal the tubules in your tooth’s root, reducing the tooth’s sensitivity to hot and cold.

Root Canal Therapy
While cleaning out the tooth nerve as a part of root canal therapy, a dental laser may be used to further disinfect the tooth. Specifically, the dental laser activates the antibacterial irrigant used to flush the tooth, allowing it more effectively kill off bacteria. Using a dental laser for root canal therapy increases treatment success.
