Laser dentistry is relatively new approach in performing dental procedures which includes the use of lasers to treat a number of different dental conditions. It became commercially used in clinical dental practice from 1980s. 

Laser dentistry potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue compared to drills and other non-laser tools.
LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” The instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam. This laser light produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to remove or shape the tissue.

In our office laser dentistry is used in a variety of procedures, including:

•treating hypersensitivity 
•treating gum disease 
•disinfection while root canal treatment
•gum lift (gingivectomy) etc.
•cavity detection
•crown lengthening 
•herpes and aphthae treatment
•minor surgical interventions

Lasers can make dental treatments more efficient, cost effective, and comfortable.
