What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser Dentistry utilizes high-powered laser technology to perform a variety of dental treatments, from cavity removal to gum surgeries. The laser works by emitting focused light energy, which precisely targets and treats affected areas without impacting surrounding healthy tissue, promoting a faster and more comfortable healing process.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Dental implants offer a natural-looking and feeling replacement for missing teeth. They enable confident chewing and speaking, enhance facial aesthetics, and boost self-esteem. With a long-lasting solution, they preserve surrounding bone and prevent future tooth loss.
- Minimally Invasive: Laser procedures typically involve less bleeding and swelling, reducing the need for stitches and promoting quicker recovery times.
- High Precision: Laser technology allows us to target specific areas with exceptional accuracy, minimizing damage to adjacent tissues and making treatments less invasive.
Laser Dentistry Procedures Offered
- Cavity Treatment: Lasers can precisely remove decay in a tooth, making cavity treatment gentler and more comfortable.
- Gum Surgery: Laser-assisted gum surgeries are less invasive and often require little to no anesthesia.
- Teeth Whitening: Laser technology can accelerate whitening processes, delivering faster, brighter results.
- Soft Tissue Treatments: Lasers can treat conditions affecting soft tissues, such as gum disease, with improved accuracy and healing.
During a consultation at Ryde Dental, our team will assess if laser dentistry is the right choice based on your specific dental health needs.
