LASER DENTISTRY

We have incorporated laser dentistry techniques into our practice and treatments especially for anxious patients.

The laser technology we use provide patients with precision treatment that can minimise pain and recovery time for the following reasons:

• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require stitches..
• Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
• Laser dentistry minimises bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
• Bacterial infections are minimised because the high-energy beam sterilises the area being worked on.
• Damage to surrounding tissue is minimised.
• Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.

Dental lasers are used for:

• Tooth sensitivity.
• Crown lengthening to provide a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations.
• Reshaping gum tissue to improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
• Children with tongue tie and babies unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement.
• Removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures.
