Dental Treatment by Lasers: A Cutting-Edge Approach

The application of lasers in dentistry has revolutionized the way dental procedures are performed. At MMSDC, we are committed to staying at the forefront of dental technology and are pleased to offer our patients Dental Laser Treatment services.

How Do Lasers Work in Dentistry?

All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. In dental procedures, lasers can act as cutting instruments or tissue vaporizers. They speed up the healing of soft tissues, reduce pain sensations, and have antimicrobial properties. Additionally, in teeth whitening procedures, lasers can enhance the effects of tooth whitening agents.

Advantages of Laser Dental Treatment

• Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the treated area.
• Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding and swelling during soft tissue treatments.
• Some laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
• Wounds heal faster, and tissues can be regenerated quickly.
• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
• We offer the most advanced, widely accepted, and effective Diode laser Teeth Whitening, providing a bright sparkling smile in one short visit.

Soft Tissue Laser Applications

Our soft tissue laser applications include:

• Crown Lengthening: Reshaping tissue to expose healthier tooth structure, known as crown lengthening.
• Cold Sores: Using low-intensity dental lasers to reduce pain associated with cold sores and expedite healing.
• Gum Diseases: Removing diseased, infected, and necrosed tissue within the periodontal pocket.
• Gummy Smile: Reshaping gum tissue to reveal healthy tooth structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
• Frenectomy: Ideal for children who are tongue-tied and babies with limited tongue movement, a laser frenectomy can also help eliminate speech impediments.
• Epulis: Painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds (Epulis) often caused by ill-fitting dentures.
• Benign Tumors: Painless and suture-free removal of benign tumors from the gums, palate, sides of cheeks, and lips.
• Biopsy: Using lasers to remove a small piece of tissue (biopsy) for examination in cases of suspected cancer.
