Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is becoming more popular because people love what it can do for them. When we use lasers for gum treatment, you’ll benefit from:

More precise treatment
Minimally invasive treatment
Treatment that doesn’t require stitches
Reduced discomfort
Lower risk of infection
Less bleeding
Faster healing

Lasers are precise tools. They let us target our treatment exactly where we want it and don’t damage surrounding tissues. This helps us perform treatments in a less invasive way, leading to less discomfort and less need for stitches.

Lasers also sterilize as they work, so there’s less risk of infection. And because they cauterize tiny blood vessels, there’s less bleeding. This combines to set you up for faster healing.

Laser Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is one of the most serious health problems facing American adults. It’s not only the leading cause of tooth loss, it can contribute to many major health problems, including:

Heart disease
Stroke
Diabetes
Autoimmune disorders
Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease
Cancer

So it’s important to get gum disease treatment. Unfortunately, traditional gum disease approaches can be unpleasant. But with the benefits of laser dentistry, the treatment can be much easier, and in many cases more effective.

Gum Recontouring

When it comes to the show of a smile, your teeth are definitely the stars. Your gums play an important supporting role.

Sometimes, though, gums can hog the spotlight. If you have a gummy smile, it can make you uncomfortable with the appearance of your smile.

Laser dentistry can help you get a good balance between gums and teeth when you smile. It can remove excess gum tissue to let your teeth shine. It can also help if an uneven gum line is making your teeth look crooked, even when they’re straight.

However, if your teeth are naturally short, veneers might be a better choice, or, if they’re really crooked, Invisalign is a great approach to straighten them.
