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:
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.
