What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry is a modern treatment approach that uses concentrated light energy to treat selected soft-tissue and hard-tissue conditions. It may be used for gum treatment, gum reshaping, gum depigmentation and other specific dental procedures.
By targeting the treatment area precisely, laser dentistry may help reduce bleeding and tissue trauma in suitable cases. The approach depends on your dental needs, the procedure being performed and the type of laser available.
Who Can Benefit From Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry may be considered for patients who require selected gum treatments, cosmetic gum reshaping, gum depigmentation or other suitable laser-assisted procedures.
The best treatment depends on your oral health, the condition being treated and the type of laser available. A dental examination helps determine whether laser treatment is appropriate for you.
