LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation”. Lasers have been used in dental clinical practice since 1989. Hence, they are safe and have a long, successful clinical history. In contemporary dental practice, the laser source creates energy in a highly focused beam. When directed towards tissues in the mouth, it produces a reaction allowing us to achieve a wide variety of results.
Lasers have a diverse range of applications in modern dentistry, these include:
We offers a comprehensive range of dental specialists to address various dental concerns effectively
A consultation begins by us understanding what your specific concerns are, and if Laser application is suitable for you. This will include:
Laser dentistry is carried out under local anesthesia so it is completely painless, and you will not feel a thing. It can also be done under intra venous sedation or general anesthesia. The laser source is activated and gently directed at the affected area. This may be the gums around your teeth or the tooth itself. It depends on the reason for employing lasers which could be any of the applications stated above. Lasers do not result in bleeding as the gums are automatically cauterized. So, you will not have any unpleasant bleeding afterwards. Any procedure involving Lasers is very fast and efficient. Even the most complex procedure required laser application for less than 10 minutes.
Our patients do not report any pain after the procedure. However, with some complex procedures, there may be some mild tenderness from the site we treated. Depending on the procedure, we will follow up 2 weeks later for a review, then every 6 months thereafter.

Lasers are employed to eliminate cavities in a tooth and ready the nearby enamel for receiving the filler. Dental condition characterized by gum inflammation. Lasers are utilized for gum reshaping and bacterial removal in root canal treatments. Biopsy or excision of abnormal tissue.
Using lasers for dental treatment is a secure, efficient, and durable method for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. It can assist in decreasing gum disease, enhancing the look of your smile, and eliminating bacteria that lead to plaque and tartar formation.
There are a few reasons why dental lasers are nearly painless. It is not as intrusive as conventional dental treatments. For instance, laser dentistry can replace more invasive methods that require scalpels and drills.
Dental lasers have the ability to eliminate old white fillings, often without requiring anesthesia. Occasionally dental lasers work alongside a dental drill, with the drill performing the bulk of the work (drilling) and the laser completing the task of removing the filling.
Based on anecdotal accounts, laser teeth whitening does not cause any pain. Nonetheless, your teeth may experience increased sensitivity for approximately 24 hours following the treatment. Bleaching of teeth can harm the enamel or pulp of the tooth.
The treatment is more accurate when less drilling is needed for the tooth, helping to conserve the solid structure of the tooth. Because the entire procedure is less intrusive, it results in quick recovery. Infection and contamination risks are greatly reduced thanks to lasers.
The duration can range from a few months to a maximum of 3 years depending on the individual. The brightening results will not endure as much if you smoke or consume red wine, tea or coffee, as they can all cause discoloration to your teeth.
Laser therapy promotes blood clotting and disinfection after gum surgery, reducing the risk to a minimum. Another possible consequence is injury to the tooth’s pulp when removing cavities, performing a root canal, or other dental procedures. The risk is reduced when using a drill bit but not completely eliminated.
Laser gum reshaping is a dental treatment that provides permanent results. Any additional gum tissue that is taken out in order to shift the gum line and show more teeth will not regenerate.
Dental lasers give patients the option to have a cavity treatment that is almost or entirely free of pain. Dental lasers are faster at removing infected material from cavity-filled teeth, resulting in shorter treatment appointments for many patients.
In conclusion, you can have a meal after eating a filling. Ensure to wait a minimum of 3-4 hours post procedure before eating a full meal. Choose fresh juices, ice creams, and anything with a smooth texture.
Laser dentistry is advantageous because it results in significantly reduced pain and discomfort compared to traditional tools. Due to this, patients who have laser dentistry treatment usually recover quicker than those who have traditional treatment.
Cleaning with a brush. Avoid brushing the area(s) near the gums for one week. For one week, focus on brushing only the tops of the treated teeth. Brush the rest of your teeth in the usual manner.
Maintaining the whiteness of your teeth. It’s difficult to picture someone who wouldn’t desire to keep their teeth white. Laser teeth whitening has the ability to rapidly eliminate these undesired stains. Patients have the ability to take action in order to avoid teeth staining from occurring.
