Lasers in dentistry allow for many dental procedures to be performed with no noise, minimal pain, faster recovery times and often fewer appointments.
All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light.
When used for surgical and dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument. When used for "curing" a filling, the laser helps to strengthen the bond between the filling and the tooth. When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth-bleaching agents. The procedures performed with dental lasers are minimally invasive and preferable to conventional surgery.
Our LiteTouch™ Dental Laser treats both hard and soft tissues. It is an ideal tool for performing Minimal Invasive Dentistry (MID), preserving the oral healthy tissue.
Other benefits of laser dentistry over traditional methods can include:
- Reduced heat and vibration
