Everyone deserves the chance to have a beautiful and healthy smile
Laser Dentistry
Laser therapy in dentistry helps patients to have a more comfortable dental treatment experience. Using laser dentistry, your dentist can deliver a precise treatment that is more comfortable, quicker, and provides more stunning results.
Lasers take advantage of the quantum behavior of electrons, tiny particles inside atoms. By stimulating atoms with pulses of energy and then using a method of optical amplification, they cause the atoms to produce a beam of coherent light. Essentially, they emit light with excellent energy yet can be precisely controlled. The combination of high power and precision makes lasers so useful. When used for dental & surgical procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue with which it comes in contact. When used for “curing” a filling, the laser helps to strengthen the bond between the filling and the tooth.
