Laser dentistry

How Do Lasers Work in Dentistry?

All lasers deliver energy in the form of light of a certain wave length. Based on the wave length and energy used, lasers have proven beneficial, for a wide array of dental procedures.

Lasers when used as a cutting instrument minimizes bleeding owing to the high-energy light beam which causes coagulation (clotting) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.

When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth-bleaching agents.

Lasers have to property of biostimulation which can be used to treat Temporomandibular joint disorders and also chronic painfull ulcers.
