Laser Treatment

Laser dentistry has come a long way since it was first used in the 1990s. A laser is an instrument that uses an intense beam of light to come in contact with the soft tissue in your mouth. The light it produces can shape or remove tissue, close off blood vessels and sterilizes the infected area with great accuracy.

Lasers are gentle on the mouth. The use of laser technology in dentistry has been found effective for the following purposes:

• To expose partially erupted third molars
• To reduce the pain and discomfort of cold sores and canker
• To get rid of muscle attachments
• To manage gum tissue
• To remove overgrown tissue
• To perform biopsies
• To get rid of inflamed gum tissue
• To treat gum disease
• To treat root canal infections
• To reshape or remove bone tissue
• To speed up tooth bleaching
