What is laser dentistry?

Lasers cut, reshape, and vaporize oral tissues using a focused light—there are no drills, scalpels, or other invasive tools. Lasers can cut into soft and hard tissues, making them versatile and valuable in numerous dental treatments. Unlike scalpels and drills, lasers are minimally invasive, and their pinpoint precision allows them to target specific areas without harming the surrounding tissues.

What are the applications of lasers in dentistry?

Laser treatments like Fotona administer numerous dental treatments. Some applications of laser dentistry include:

  • Cavity treatment: Lasers can remove the damaged/decayed portions of the tooth before placing a filling. Reshaping your tooth with a laser is thorough and minimally invasive.
  • Treatment for gum disease: Periodontal disease can destroy oral health when left untreated. Traditionally, dentists treat advanced gum disease with scalpels and stitches. Laser dentistry uses a focused beam of light to remove the infected tissues while leaving the healthy tissues unscathed. Lasers reach the deeper periodontal pockets to blast unhealthy deposits and harmful bacteria without invasive tools.
  • Teeth whitening: The dentist can use laser energy to activate the whitening gels to reach the deeper layers of the enamel.
  • Cold sore treatment: Although cold or canker sores disappear within 7-10 days, laser therapy can treat them before they become full-blown blisters.

What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

Laser dentistry is a revolutionary procedure for maintaining a healthy smile. Here are its notable benefits.

Minimally invasive: The precision of laser tools results in minimal trauma and bleeding during treatment. You rarely need sutures after treatment.

Faster healing: The laser energy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting faster tissue regeneration. Because of the conservative nature of the treatment, the laser also promotes faster recovery. Fewer post-op complications ensure you get back to your best in no time!

Minimal infection risk: The laser promotes a sterile environment during treatment by cauterizing blood vessels as it cuts, reducing bleeding and the risk of infection by sealing off any open tissue, which makes it harder for bacteria to enter the surgical site.

Comfortable treatment: Instead of scalpels and drills, the laser uses comfortable, light energy to reshape and cut oral tissues. The treatment is relaxed, and you don’t usually need anesthesia.
