Laser dentistry can be used for minimally invasive gum surgeries, cavity treatment, and other issues. 

What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser Dentistry utilizes extremely small beams of light focused to perform any procedure that targets hard or soft tissues. Dental professionals use laser technology to perform a variety of procedures inside the mouth (removal of overgrown tissues, reshape gums, whiten teeth).

Types of Laser

Soft Tissue Lasers -  Soft tissue lasers cut and remove soft tissue from the gums for aesthetic purposes. Dentists will sometimes use a laser to remove excess gum tissues in the mouth and for the treatment of ulcers or cold sores. Some may know these as "gum lasers."

Hard Tissue Lasers - Hard tissue lasers can help cut hard tissues inside the mouth and work mostly on the enamel. They are designed to prepare teeth for dental fillings, repair tooth decay, cavities, etc.

What are the conditions that a laser can treat?

Lasers can help treat several conditions that are related to gums, such as:

  • Treatment of gum disease
  • Removal of gum inflammation
  • Gum reshaping
  • Removal of tissues from the throat
  • Regeneration of damaged nerves
  • Removal of tumors
  • Treatment of tooth infection 

What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

Dentists opt for lasers during procedures for better comfort and reduced healing time. Some of the benefits of laser dentistry are:

  • Less requirement of sutures
  • Reduced need for anesthesia
  • Helps in gum sterilization
  • Reduces damage to the gums
  • Reduced loss of blood

Laser Gum Surgery

Your laser gum surgery appointments are similar to any other dental appointments. Patients may be administered anesthesia upon request. During the procedure, the patient would not experience any discomfort or uneasiness, as lasers are different from drills.

Post-Operative Expectations

Post-operative experience is comparatively smoother when compared to other means of surgery. As laser-equipped surgeries require absolutely no scalpel, there are fewer chances of bleeding with zero need for sutures.
