The breakthrough of using lasers in dental treatments is becoming well established and more and more dentists and patients are becoming confident that a laser can provide a better treatment experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dental procedures can be performed with lasers?

Lasers can treat tooth decay, gum disease, and sensitive teeth while also assisting with cavity preparation and soft tissue procedures like gum contouring. They are also used for teeth whitening, improving the effects of whitening agents for quicker, more noticeable results. Additionally, lasers can help remove bacteria from deep gum pockets, improving periodontal health, and can even assist in minor oral surgeries with minimal bleeding. Their precision makes them a valuable tool for both restorative and cosmetic dental treatments.

How does laser dentistry reduce pain during treatment?

Laser dentistry reduces dental pain by using a precise light beam instead of drills, minimising vibrations and pressure. This method provides effective dental pain relief, targeting only the necessary areas and sealing nerve endings to reduce sensitivity. Many procedures, such as those for gum disease and teeth whitening, don’t require anaesthesia, making treatment more comfortable with a faster recovery. Additionally, the heat from the laser sterilises the area, reducing the risk of infection and promoting quicker healing. Patients often experience little to no post-treatment discomfort compared to traditional methods.

Why is laser dentistry more comfortable than traditional methods?

Laser dentistry eliminates the need for drills and needles in many procedures, providing effective dental pain relief and reducing discomfort. It works with precision, minimising impact on surrounding tissues, which leads to minimal bleeding, swelling, and faster healing. Many patients experience little to no pain, often without the need for anaesthesia. Laser dentistry is also highly effective in treating gum disease, promoting healthier gums with less trauma. Additionally, it plays a key role in teeth whitening, offering a safe and efficient way to attain a brighter smile. Since lasers reduce trauma to the gums and teeth, they help lower the likelihood of complications or prolonged soreness after treatment, making dental visits less stressful—especially for those with dental anxiety.
