Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is not very common, though there are many benefits to using a laser during procedures. Wounds from the surgery heal much faster because there is less damage to the surrounding tissue. Lasers minimize bleeding and post-surgical bacterial infections. Often anesthesia and sutures are not needed after procedures when a laser is used.
Lasers can be used for many different dental procedures. Using them is an efficient way to find cavities. Fillings don’t need anesthesia when we use a laser. Lasers can be used to remold gums that grow up and over a patient’s teeth. Many dentists use a laser for dental surgery, like cutting out extra tissue in the mouth, removing tumors, and much more.
