Laser dentistry
The laser is one of the most sophisticated, precise and minimally invasive tools in dentistry. In many cases, laser dentistry can reduce or eliminate the need for intimidating dental equipment—including needles—and the amount of anesthetic necessary to complete a procedure, which may also diminish the recovery time following an invasive technique.
In addition to cosmetic enhancements such as gummy smile correction and crown lengthening, lasers can also be used for pocket reduction that eliminates the bacteria that contributes to periodontal disease. Also, lasers are widely used in conjunction with orthodontic treatment in cases of soft tissue management.
