The Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry can be used to perform many dental treatments with added precision. Lasers may be used in conjunction with traditional instruments such as a drill, but the laser may also eliminate the need to use a drill in some cases, which can give patients a more comfortable experience.

The trusted dental team at Northfield Dental Group offers laser dentistry for a variety of different treatments. In this post, our experienced West Orange and Short Hills dentists explain the benefits of using laser dentistry.

Lasers Offer Enhanced Precision

Lasers such as the DENTA CO2 laser can target soft tissues more precisely than traditional methods, and therefore provide several additional benefits to patients. For example, a procedure to remove soft tissue folds or other gum tissue can be performed more accurately using a laser, without impacting the surrounding tissue.

In addition, the precision of the laser may allow for less anesthesia and fewer stitches to be used. Some laser dentistry treatments may not require any stitches at all.

Less Drilling Means More Comfort

Some patients become anxious when a dental drill is being used. Laser dentistry gives these patients a quieter, more comfortable alternative without sacrificing effectiveness or quality.

Soft tissue lasers also generally provide for a faster and less painful recovery. The laser seals blood vessels and nerve endings, allowing many patients to experience a pain-free recovery period after a soft tissue sculpting procedure.

Dental Innovation with Proven Effectiveness

Lasers have been safely used for many different types of dental treatments, and are proven to be both safe and effective. However, like any procedure, the skill and experience of your dentist will be the most important factor in providing a successful treatment and minimizing any complications.
