As you can imagine there are a whole range of benefits within the laser treatment programe, some of these include:
No contact with teeth or gums, therefore the patient will feel less discomfort and pain than they would normally feel if a conventional drill was used for the procedure.
No sound when using lasers.
Lasers also clean the surrounding area from all bacteria therefore creating a clean and safe area for the dentist to carry out a safe procedure.
Lasers create a better surface for the bonding of fillings, which later in time will cause less decay and less problems.
Less bleeding and less swelling than one would get when using a drill.
Lasers are also used to detect the early forms of decay, this is done by a laser being directed at the tooth and it bouncing off decay and creating a change of wavelength, and this helps to find the early forms of tooth decay and can be treated quicker. Lasers can detect decay within 5 years before it would be normally detected. Decay is highly detrimental to the health of your teeth and finding tooth decay as early as possible can provide your teeth with much needed treatment, and in some cases save you from losing any teeth. Detecting tooth decay at an early level can prevent further problems down the line including, Cracks in the decayed tooth, Root canal treatment and porcelain crowns or veneers.
Lasers can also be used to whiten teeth that have over time become discoloured, by reversing the colour of tooth enamel. Lasers will give you a more presentable and confident smile. This can be a quick and virtually pain-free procedure and you will see the positive effects straightaway.
