Laser technology has been used in medical procedures for some time now. Laser dentistry is quickly becoming a popular method of performing many dental procedures.
What is Laser Dentistry?
Laser Dentistry is a relatively new procedure in the dental industry. Allowing a focused beam of light to help activate bleaching agents used in teeth whitening, assist any bonding processes and reshape tissue during any restorative treatments.
This can eliminate the need for dental drills and other invasive tools that can cause some patients to be anxious.
What can be treated with Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry on soft tissues eliminates the need for stitches, minimises bleeding, and sterilises the area on-the-go to minimise the risk of infection. It is also a growing industry, creating the potential for great precision in treatments and minimising pain and recovery time after surgery.
