 Lasers
In Dentistry
By
visiting a laser dentist, you’ll have the opportunity to experience
a new and exciting technology. Dental lasers are used for a variety
of treatment procedures. Some lasers are used for surgery, some to
cure restorative materials and enhance tooth bleaching, and others
to remove tooth structure for elimination of disease and restoration
– different lasers for different procedures.
What
Is A Laser And How Does It Work?
A laser is an
instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy
which may or may not be visible to the human eye. When laser light
comes in contact with tissue, it causes a reaction. The beam of
light produced by the laser has the ability to remove, vaporize, or
shape soft tissues (gums, cheeks and tongue) or hard tissues
(removal of decay).
How Are Lasers
Used In Dentistry?
The laser is used
for many soft and hard tissue procedures. Your dentist knows which
types of patient care are more patient-friendly with a laser than
with alternative traditional methods. The dentists using lasers
have devoted training time and expense to be able to bring you the
many advantages of this exciting new technology.
