LASER DENTISTRY

With the use of lasers in cosmetic dentistry, a day at the dentist doesn’t have to be a day filled with anxiety. Laser dentistry is used for many reasons, such as teeth whitening, cavity removal, curing or hardening bonding materials, and periodontal or gum-related care. The popularity of different laser technology—such as ardium for hard tissue, CO2 for soft tissue, diode for reducing inflamation—is not only attributed to the fact that there is little pain involved and less post-op discomfort than traditional dentistry, but its effectiveness in creating a beautiful smile.

This type of treatment is very specific in regard to the wavelength of energy produced, which means that there must be a different laser used for each individual procedure. Laser dentistry is specially d  esigned to treat a variety of dental problems. When treatment is performed, it does not change or damage surrounding tissues or materials.

As tools like cleaning brushes and drills can cause distress, anxiety, and even nausea among patients, laser dentistry can help to eliminate the common complaints of traditional dentistry. Because there are some dental conditions in which lasers should not be used, our medical professionals at the office of Cosmetic dentist Dr. Ong will help you understand when laser treatment should be performed.
