How Laser Dentistry Is Used in Real Treatments
Laser dentistry can be used in more ways than most people realize. Here are some of the most common procedures where it makes a difference:
Gum Contouring and Smile Refinement
If you have a gummy smile or uneven gumlines, laser dentistry allows for accurate reshaping without cutting or stitches. This approach can make your smile more symmetrical or prep your gums before a crown. The result looks clean and natural, with less swelling than you would have after surgery.
Gum Disease Treatment
Lasers are also used to treat gum disease. They clean out bacteria from deep pockets and stimulate the tissue to heal and reattach to your teeth. The energy from the laser helps with inflammation and seals nerve endings, so there’s less discomfort after the appointment. It’s often paired with root planing and scaling for even better results.
Removing Decay Without a Drill
If the sound of a dental drill makes you tense, this might be your favorite part. Lasers can remove tooth decay quietly and prepare the area for a filling. There’s no vibration, and in many cases, no need for numbing. Lasers can also prepare deep grooves in molars for sealants.
Other Soft Tissue Uses
From treating canker sores to performing frenectomies, lasers have a growing list of uses. They even help expose unerupted teeth in children and treat swollen gum tissue around wisdom teeth.
