Laser dentistry in Pune

• Lasers are used to treat different dental procedure. Laser dentistry offers comfortable treatment option for multiple dental procedures.

• LASER is the “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.”

• The instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam.

• When it hits with the tissue laser produces reaction, allowing it to remove or shape the tissue.

• Laser Use in Dentistry

• treating hypersensitivity

• treating tooth decay

• treating gum disease

• whitening teeth Dental treatments with lasers are more efficient, cost effective, and comfortable.

How are laser treatments performed?

• Lasers are performed in two way procedures which are hard tissue and soft tissue procedures.

• Common hard tissue procedures include:

• Cavity detection. Lasers can detect cavities early by finding evidence of tooth decay.

• Tooth preparations and dental fillings.

• Local anaesthesia and traditional drills may or may not needed while laser treatments.

• Bacteria’s in a cavity are killed by lasers, which can aid in the long-term health of a tooth.

• Treating tooth sensitivity. Teeth with sensitivity to hot as well as cold are treated with dental lasers to seal tubules on the tooth’s root.

Common soft tissue procedures include:

• Lasers are used to reshape gum tissue with “gummy smile,” in which the gums’ length covers much of the tooth.

• Crown lengthening. Reshapes both gum tissue and bone for healthier tooth structure, this helps with placing restorations on the teeth.

• Treating tongue frenulum attachment. Patients with a thick fold of skin under the front part of tongue that anchors to the mouth floor) may benefit from a laser frenectomy. In cases where frenum is restricted in children’s causes them to be tongue-tied, have difficulty breastfeeding, or have a speech impediment.

• Removing soft tissue folds. Soft tissue folds from ill-fitting dentures without pain or sutures removed by lasers.

• TMJ (temporomandibular joint) treatment. Lasers can help reduce pain and inflammation in the joint.

• Nerve regeneration. Lasers can help regenerate damaged blood vessels, nerves, and scars.

• Treating cold sores. Lasers can minimize healing time and reduce pain from cold sores.

• Teeth whitening. The bleaching process during teeth-whitening sessions is done fast with laser.

What types of lasers are used?/ Do dental lasers hurts?

• Lasers are used on hard tissue or soft tissue, depending on the treatment. If treatment allows we can use both the lasers.

• Hard tissue lasers can cut through tooth structure. Through the combination of water and a specific mineral found in teeth are absorbed by the wavelengths.

• These lasers are most often used to prep or shape teeth for composite bonding, to repair dental fillings that have worn down, and to remove some tooth structure.

• Through water and haemoglobin soft tissues can be absorbed. Periodontitis is been treated by these lasers including killing bacteria and activating tissue regrowth. Nerve endings and blood vessels while they penetrate the tissue is sealed by the soft tissue laser.

• This is the reason why there is no pain during laser treatment. The lasers leads faster healing of the tissue. Benefits of using laser dentistry over other methods There is barely need for sutures with soft tissue lasers. There is less bleeding in treated soft tissues, as the laser promotes blood clotting.

• With some procedures, anesthesia is unnecessary. There is less chance of bacteria because the laser sterilizes the area.

• As the tissue regenerate the wound healing is faster Less damage to the surrounding tissues. Disadvantages of laser dentistry Lasers can’t be used if teeth already have certain types of filling, Soft tissue lasers while penetrating the tissue seal nerve endings and blood vessels while they.
