About laser dentistry

Laser dentistry is an exciting development that offers myriad benefits for patients and professionals. Lasers have many uses within the field of dentistry and they are becoming an increasingly common replacement for traditional techniques.

Lasers are used in general dentistry and cosmetic dental treatment and they often produce outstanding results with minimal hassle.

Here are just some of the many uses of laser technology within dentistry:

  • decay detection
  • removal of decayed tissue

  • gum reshaping
  • power cleaning and stain removal
  • treatment of gum disease

Lovely Lasers in Leeds

585986_blogIf anything has come along to ease the worries and fears of any patient who has to have something done at dentists in Leeds, it’s the laser. Since this was introduced in the nineties, it has revolutionised all range of procedures in the surgery. It doesn’t have the bone shattering affect that a drill has, nor does it do the damage left by using a scalpel. It is also far less painful than these traditional techniques and has greatly reduced the need to use anaesthetics during treatments. The applications of the laser are amazing: it can be used with pinpoint accuracy to place dental implants and doing tricky jobs like root canals. Lasers can burn at tissue efficiently in order to tackle wisdom teeth that are submerged, remove tissue that is blighted by gum disease and is exceptional for shaping excess gums; it is also brilliant when used for teeth whitening techniques. The reason why this technique is the new kid on the block is because it does so little damage to gum tissue, the teeth and to the bone; this means that healing afterwards is fast and less traumatic. If you are in trouble and things in your mouth are playing you up, find a dentist who uses this type of equipment because you will never want to go back to the bad old days of the drill and scalpel- once bitten, you’ll be smitten!
