Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is a state-of-the-art dental procedure. There are several benefits to receiving dental treatment using laser dentistry technology, including:

• No anesthesia is required.
• Quicker recovery time.
• Increased comfort.
• Less risk of bacterial infection.
• No drilling and no needles.

Hard Tissue and Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry

There are two different types of laser dentistry, hard tissue and soft tissue.

• Hard tissue includes treatments such as cavity detection, dental fillings, and improving tooth sensitivity.
• Soft tissue treatments include gum reshaping and improving muscle attachment.

Other procedures that often require laser dentistry include removing benign oral cancers, nerve regeneration, overcoming sleep apnea, teeth whitening, and TMJ treatment.
