Dental Lasers
Advanced Laser Technology
At South Granville Dentistry in Vancouver, we can perform many procedures with little or no freezing and without a drill when dental lasers are used as an alternative to traditional dental tools.
What are dental lasers?
Dental lasers use beams of light with quick pulses of heat energy to target the area being treated.
Depending on the tissue to be treated, the wavelengths used will vary.
The Benefits
Surgical dental lasers are more accurate and precise than traditional methods of treatment, which allows your dentist to preserve more bone and tooth tissue during surgery.
Patient discomfort and healing time are reduced after procedures as dental lasers produce less bleeding and swelling than traditional methods.
The need for local anesthesia is often eliminated during procedures, which can shorten the length of your appointment.
The heat from the laser also cauterizes the site, reduces infection and other health issues.
Lasers in Dentistry
The use of dental lasers can be found in many procedures, including:
- Removing tooth decay and preparing the surrounding area for a filling
- Removing bacteria and reshaping gums during gum disease treatment
- Sterilizing teeth during a root canal procedure
- Activating and expediting the bleaching agents in the teeth whitening process
- Reshaping and contouring gums for cosmetic reasons
