Lasers in Dentistry
A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow and intense beam of light energy; this controlled amount of energy evaporates and heals target tissues with incredibly accuracy. It can be applied to hard tissues – such as teeth and bone – to perform cavity preparation, root canals, crown lengthening, and teeth desensitizing. It can also be used on soft tissue – such as gums, lips, cheeks – to perform periodontal treatment, reduce bacteria, remove calculus, treat cold and cancer sores, perform frenectomy, and aid uncovering areas of infection for implants. Overall, the results in a faster and more pleasure dental experience.
