Laser Dentistry

    What is Laser Dentistryharness-the-power-of-light

    A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy. When laser light comes in contact with tissues, it causes a reaction. The light produced by the laser can remove or shape tissue.

    Lasers have been used in dentistry since 1990. Lasers can be used as a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of dental procedures and are often used in conjunction with other dental instruments.

    Dental lasers can be used to:

    Reduce the discomfort of canker and cold sores
    Expose partially erupted wisdom tooth.
    Remove muscle attachments that limit proper movement.
    Manage gum tissue during impressions for crowns or other procedures.
    Remove overgrow tissues cause by certain medications.
    Perform biopsy procedures.
