The word “laser” is an acronym for “Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.” Lasers produce an invisible, highly concentrated beam of light. Laser dentistry is the use of lasers in dental treatments and procedures. Lasers are a safe, effective alternative to traditional dental instruments.
Dental lasers use light energy to reshape the structure of oral tissues. In the case of gum disease, this energy will target the bacterial population that causes the disease. Lasers can also be used to prepare teeth for fillings and crowns and to perform root canal procedures.
Laser dentistry uses a powerful beam of light to perform a variety of dental treatments. Lasers are also used to prepare a tooth for restoration, such as fillings, crowns, and veneers, as well as to detect the growth of cavities. Its major advantages are as follows:
