What is Laser Dentistry?
At Dr. Balaji Dental Hospital & Medical Centre, we are proud to offer cutting-edge laser dentistry services. Laser dentistry represents the pinnacle of modern dental care, providing numerous benefits over traditional methods. Our skilled team utilizes the latest laser technology to ensure precise, efficient, and comfortable treatments for our patients.
Laser dentistry involves the use of high-powered lasers to perform a variety of dental procedures. Lasers can be used on both hard and soft tissues, making them versatile tools for a wide range of treatments. The laser’s focused light energy allows for targeted, minimally invasive procedures with enhanced accuracy.
Our Laser Dentistry Services
Cavity Detection and Fillings: Lasers can detect cavities at an early stage and precisely remove decay, allowing for smaller and more durable fillings.
Gum Disease Treatment: Laser therapy effectively treats gum disease by removing infected tissue and bacteria, promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue.
Gum Contouring and Reshaping: For patients with uneven gum lines or excessive gum tissue, laser gum contouring offers a precise and painless solution.
Root Canal Therapy: Lasers enhance the effectiveness of root canal treatments by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent recontamination.
Teeth Whitening: Laser-assisted teeth whitening provides fast and dramatic results by activating the whitening agents more effectively than traditional methods.
