Laser dentistry uses focused light to treat the teeth and gums precisely and gently, often with less discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods.
Quick answer
Laser dentistry uses concentrated light for soft-tissue and some hard-tissue procedures, such as gum contouring, treating gum disease, gum depigmentation, and certain cavity work. Benefits include greater precision, less bleeding and swelling, reduced need for stitches, and often faster, more comfortable healing. Not every procedure uses a laser, but where suitable it improves the experience.
