Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry involves the use of lasers to perform a variety of different dental procedures. It offers more pain free, comfortable and efficient treatment options rather than traditional dental treatments that involve the use of the drill, scalpel and other more invasive tools.
When can lasers be used
In dentistry, lasers can be used in a variety of procedures, such as in surgical procedures as a cutting instrument, or in teeth whitening procedures as a heat source.
The use of lasers in surgical procedures helps prevent the need for hand-held instruments such as scalpels and drills and eliminates any anxiety and discomfort associated with them.
