Laser Dentistry

Lasers are an exciting new development in the field of dentistry. The dental laser has many advantages over conventional dental instruments.

Comfort! Heat, vibration and pressure are the ordinary sources of pain associated with dental procedures, besides existing infection. Our laser induces none of these. This not only means less pain but also fewer steps to reduce pain such as anaesthesia. In some cases there may be no need for an injection at all, allowing an entirely pain-free dental experience.

Accuracy and precision! Conventional dental tools are only as precise as the dentist's eye, which, while expertly trained, is still human. A step ahead of these, our dental laser can specifically target tooth decay, through its exquisite sensitivity for certain densities. This allows us to remove only the infected parts, leaving the surrounding healthy enamel unaffected.

Fewer dental visits! Since you may not need anaesthesia, we may be able to perform cavity preparations in several areas of your mouth in a single visit instead of separately. The laser may also enable us to perform procedures which would otherwise have been referred to a specialist.

Less bleeding and swelling! The laser has unique coagulating and gentle cutting capabilities. With it we can perform many procedures on gums and other soft tissues with less bleeding and post-operative swelling.

Versatility As for cosmetic and surgical procedures in other fields such as wrinkle removal or hair removal, the laser can be used in procedures on soft tissue such as gums. However the same laser can also be used on hard tissue such as teeth and bone, eg, cavity preparation.
