Why Laser Surgery is Preferable
With traditional surgery, tissue is prone to scarring, but with dental lasers the tissue regenerates and heals accordingly. Chance of post-surgical infection is greatly minimized because the dental lasers sterilize the area being treated. With laser dentistry, there is minimal bleeding, and recovery time is faster. The laser seal as the dentist works, eliminating the need for stitches.
The use of laser dentistry also allows us to treat problems that were once untreatable by traditional methods. Because of the lack of incisions involved, most patients experience minimal anxiety and discomfort, too.
Cosmetic laser dentistry is used to treat a variety of issues, such as:
- Canker
- Cold sores
- Gummy smiles
- Teeth bleaching
- Cavity detection
- Sensitive teeth
