What Are Dental Lasers?

A laser is a highly concentrated beam of light. It works by converting electrical energy into laser light. While lasers can be used for a wide range of purposes across numerous fields, in dentistry, we use lasers to remove diseased tissue while maintaining healthy structure and reducing healing time.

Types of Laser Dental Treatments

Dental lasers can be used for various purposes in dentistry. Dr. Barnett uses a dental laser to address gum disease with periodontal therapy. Here’s how that works.

Periodontal Therapy

Gum disease is an infection of the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth. It can be devastating for your oral structures and result in tooth loss when left untreated. To help our patients control and reverse gum disease, we can use our dental laser to remove infected tissue and rid the mouth of some of the harmful bacteria that are contributing to the infection.

The Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry offers many benefits compared to traditional methods. Here are some of the most prominent ones:

  • Quick Recovery: On average, patients recover from laser procedures more quickly than those performed with traditional dental tools. Laser dentistry also reduces the need for sutures.
  • Minimizes Bleeding: Dental lasers cauterize soft tissue as they move, reducing bleeding following the procedure.
  • More Comfortable: Lasers reduce and sometimes eliminate the need for anesthetic and sedation.
  • Faster Treatment: Dental lasers help us to move more quickly while staying precise.
