Lasers are a relatively new addition to dentistry. During restorative treatments, dental lasers use focused beams of light to remove or reshape tissue, cure bonding agents and activate bleaching agents during teeth whitening.

Laser dentistry has the potential to improve treatment outcomes. Lasers can help to reduce bleeding, swelling, and infection risk. In some cases, they can help to protect healthy teeth and gum tissue during the procedure. Laser treatments can reduce or eliminate the need for dental drills, making you feel more at ease.
