In many dental treatments, anesthesia injections, stitches, recovery times scare people away from going to the dentist.
Laser dental treatment is a fast and effective method. Most importantly, it is virtually painless.
The treatment works by using intense light energy to perform delicate dental procedures. It is easy to control and allows the dentist to painlessly cut and vaporize tissue on contact, eliminate tooth decay and remove soft tissue from gums. The high-energy light beam is cauterized while working, significantly reducing recovery time and the need for painkillers. The laser also sterilizes the treated area, minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues and preventing bacterial infections.
