Laser therapy in dentistry provides patients with a more comfortable dental treatment experience. Using laser dentistry, your dentist is able to deliver a precise treatment that is more comfortable, quicker, and provides more stunning results.

Benefits of laser therapy

There are several benefits to receiving a laser therapy dental treatment.

• Many laser treatments do not require anesthesia, and the recovery time is much quicker than with traditional treatment methods.
• Treatments are more comfortable.
• There is less potential chance of bacterial infection because laser treatments are so precise.

Two types of laser dentistry

There are two different types of laser dentistry:  

• Hard Tissue: Hard tissue includes treatments such as cavity detection, dental fillings, and tooth sensitivity improvements
• Soft Tissue: Soft tissue treatments include gum reshaping, gum surgery, and muscle attachment improvements

Procedures such as removing benign oral tumors, regenerating nerves, overcoming sleep apnea, whitening teeth, and treating Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) are also considered laser dentistry treatments
