Laser Dentistry
Laser is used in the following treatments in dentistry.
Gum Surgeries
Laser is used to remove diseased tissues within the gum.
Gum Aesthetics (Pink Aesthetics)
Sagging, asymmetrical, swollen gums are treated with laser. Additionally, laser is used to adapt gums to new prosthetics before laminate, empress, or zirconium dental veneers are applied.
Treatment of Darkened Gums
Laser is used in the treatment of gums that have darkened, even to a black color, due to pigmentation.
In Root Canal Treatments
Infected tissues within the tooth canals are cleaned with laser in root canal treatments.
Implant Surgeries
In implant surgeries, holes are opened in the gums with laser before implants are placed. This reduces the duration of the operation and eliminates the need for stitches.
Whitening
Laser is used in in-office whitening procedures.
Treatment of Aphthae
The treatment of aphthous ulcers in the mouth can be done with laser.
Sensitivity Reduction
Laser is effective in reducing tooth sensitivity caused by hot-cold foods.
Wound Healing
Laser is used in the healing process of wounds after surgical operations, tooth extractions, and implant applications.
