What is laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry refers to using laser technologies to address dental concerns. Laser technologies can be used for numerous procedures related to the hard tissues, such as bone and teeth, and soft tissues, such as gums. Laser devices channel light energy in a narrow, focused beam to remove or reshape hard or soft tissues, thereby addressing your specific concerns. They’re safer, more predictable, and more comfortable than traditional dental equipment, such as drills.
What are the types of lasers used in dentistry?
Hard Tissue Lasers
Hard tissue lasers cut through bone and teeth. They send specific wavelengths of light absorbed by a mineral found in teeth, thereby shaping and contouring your teeth. Dentists generally use hard tissue lasers to repair damaged dental fillings, remove teeth structure, and shape your natural teeth structure for composite bonding. The procedure is usually painless and comfortable.
Soft Tissue Lasers
Soft tissue lasers cut through gum tissues. They send specific wavelengths of light absorbed by water and hemoglobin, the protein found in red blood cells. Dentists generally use soft tissue lasers to treat periodontitis, kill unwanted bacteria, and facilitate soft tissue regeneration. The procedure doesn’t cause any pain because soft tissue lasers seal nerve endings and blood vessels.
