What Are Dental Lasers?
This technology uses focused light energy to provide precise care for the gums and other soft tissues inside the mouth. Depending on the treatment, different laser technologies can be used to support a variety of dental needs, including shaping and treating gum tissue. Laser technology can also help cure tooth-colored dental materials, while our DIAGNOdent cavity detection system can identify areas of tooth decay more accurately. Together, these technologies allow our team to provide efficient, accurate care while keeping you comfortable throughout the process.
Types of Laser Dental Treatments
Laser dentistry can be a helpful option for addressing a variety of soft tissue concerns in the mouth. Some of the common treatments that might be performed with dental lasers include:
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease develops when harmful bacteria accumulate along the gums and begin affecting the tissues that support your teeth. With laser treatment, the infected areas can be carefully treated while unhealthy tissue and bacteria are removed from the treatment area. This can provide a careful approach to gum care while helping create a healthier environment for your mouth to heal.
Gum Recontouring
Some people naturally show more gum tissue when they smile, even when their gums are perfectly healthy. This is often referred to as a “gummy smile” and can make the teeth appear shorter than they actually are. Gum recontouring can help reshape the excess tissue to expose more of the teeth, creating a more balanced appearance.
The Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers several benefits that make certain treatments more comfortable and efficient, including:
- Faster recovery timeframe
- Little to no bleeding during the procedure
- A lower risk of infection
- Precise treatment of the targeted area
- Shorter treatment times without the need for sutures
- Local anesthesia might not be necessary in some cases
