Laser Denistry

Laser Dentistry is a broad field of dentistry that targets a number of dental problems with lasers.

It is a relatively recent field with a promising future. Laser Dentistry is ideal for patients who have issues with pain and more invasive alternatives in dentistry.

While laser dentistry is highly effective to give and the FDA approves it for various treatments, its array of applications is still small.

What Is Laser Dentistry

Laser Dentistry is a special field that relies on the use of lasers to reshape, drill, or treat numerous dental problems.

It’s a more comfortable option for treatment that is less painful than other traditional treatments.

What Does Laser Dentistry Treat

Laser Dentistry has a significant place in various parts of dentistry. From aesthetic to therapeutic dentistry. It has a lot of unique benefits and uses.

Aesthetic Laser Dentistry

Laser Dentistry is an essential part of aesthetic dentistry altogether. Here are the many applications of laser dentistry for aesthetic purposes:

1- Gingival Esthetics

Laser dentistry has the ability to correct gummy smiles. Our Clinics use lasers to reshape the gums into a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

2- Teeth Whitening

At our CloudsMetic Clinics, they also use lasers to accelerate the teeth whitening process. The laser activates the bleaching agents in the product and shortens treatment time with better results.

3- Crown Lengthening

Our Clinics use Laser Dentistry to file down teeth. Particularly before crown placement where it’s necessary to reshape the teeth for better fitting.

Therapeutic Laser Dentistry

Therapeutic laser dentistry consists of the use of lasers for therapeutic purposes. These include several situations such as:

1- Detection Of Cavities

Laser dentistry and the use of laser is highly effective in detecting cavities. Even cavities in their early stages.

2- Dental Fillings

Laser dentistry can make the removal of cavities painless and effortless. With lasers, bacterial cavities can be easily and permanently removed without the need for drilling or local anaesthesia.

3- Tooth Sensitivity

Teeth sensitivity is a phenomenon where teeth can’t handle cold or hot. Laser dentistry can treat tooth sensitivity by sealing tubules found in the tooth’s root to treat sensitivity.

Types Of Lasers In Laser Dentistry

There are two major types of lasers in laser dentistry, you have soft tissue lasers and hard tissue lasers.

Hard tissue lasers are lasers that can alter hard tissues. These include altering the shape of teeth, repairing dental fillings, and cutting through teeth.

On the other hand, you have soft tissue lasers. These are perfect for treating gum deformities, stimulating tissue growth, closing exposed nerve endings, preventing bleeding, treating cavities, and killing bacteria.

Benefits Of Laser Dentistry

With soft tissue lasers, you don’t need to use sutures

Stops bleeding by closing open vessels through stimulating clotting

No need for anaesthesia in most laser dentistry procedures

Higher precision and inflicts less damage to neighbour tissue

Shortcomings Of Laser Dentistry

Lasers can easily work with many types of lasers. But if you have metal fillings then this treatment is out of the question.

They don’t really work for everyone and every case. Your doctor will let you know if you’re a candidate or not
