Lasers represent an innovative and more precise technology for specific hard and
soft tissue applications. If you choose a Global Dental Care where we incorporate
lasers into our procedures, you may find that you feel more comfortable and less
anxiety during your treatments.
No buzzing of the dental drill, no pressure of tooth preparation… such are the wonders
of laser dentistry.

What are the Benefits of
Laser Dentistry?
|
|
Here are some of the major benefits associated with laser dentistry:
|
- Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anaesthesia.
- Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the
clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
- Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area
being worked on.
- Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
- Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
- Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
|
|
The applications of laser dentistry are numerous and for the ease to understand
them we can divide its application into:
|
- Tooth laser dentistry Procedures
- Soft tissue laser dentistry Procedures
- Other applications

Hard Tissue (Tooth)
Laser Dentistry Procedures
|
|
- Cavity Detector: Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used for
the early detection of caries.
- Dental fillings and tooth Preparation: Hard tissue dental lasers may eliminate
the need for a local anaesthetic injection and the traditional turbine dental drill.
Lasers used in dental filling procedures are capable of killing bacteria located
in a cavity, potentially leading to improved long term results.
|
|
|
Sensitive teeth: Dental lasers may be used to seal tubules (located on the
root of the tooth) that are responsible for hot and cold tooth sensitivity. Thus
settling the problem of electric shock like pain that you get due to sensitive teeth. |

Soft Tissue (Gum) Laser
Dentistry Procedures
|
- Crown Lengthening: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue (soft tissue laser)
and bone (hard tissue laser) to expose healthier tooth structure. Referred to as
crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement
of restorations.
- Gummy Smile: : Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy tooth
structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
- Muscle Attachment (Frenula): A laser frenectomy is an ideal treatment option
for children who are tongue tied (restricted or tight frenulum) and babies unable
to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement. A laser frenectomy may
also help to eliminate speech impediments.
|
|
Other Laser Applications In
Dentistry
|
- Benign Tumors: : Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free
removal of benign tumours from the gums, palate, sides of cheeks and lips.
- Cold Sores: Low intensity dental lasers reduce pain associated with cold
sores and minimize healing time.
- Teeth Whitening: Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used to speed
up the bleaching process associated in teeth whitening.
- Temporomandibular Joint Treatment: Dental lasers may be used to quickly reduce
pain and inflammation of the temporomandibular jaw joint.
