A case in point is dental lasers. Laser dentistry is a less invasive way of performing procedures in various treatments. Where previously, scalpels, probes, and drills were used, now our patients can benefit from minimally invasive light-concentrated treatment that delivers results.
There are numerous benefits of dental lasers for both the patient and the dentist, so it’s worth taking a closer look at some of them.
Minimised discomfort and bleeding
Since there is little need for scrapers, scalpels and drills, treatment performed with dental lasers is both comfortable and effective. Dental lasers are designed to emit energy in the form of heat or light. This beam of energy makes for pinpoint soft tissue cutting, which also helps with immediate blood clotting. Essentially, it minimises bleeding, decreases the chances of bacterial infection and negates the need for sutures.
Lessen the chance of anaesthesia
In some cases, because dental laser treatment is minimally invasive, there is no need to apply an anaesthetic. This is good news for anxious patients who don’t like the thought of needles.
Speedier healing
Laser dentistry decreases the odds of soft tissue damage when treatments are performed. Ultimately, this equates to minimal downtime after treatment. Most patients can carry on their daily lives with little fuss post-treatment.

Lasers work by utilising energy in concentrated light form, either as a direct source of heat, as in teeth whitening, or as a source of energy for cutting, reshaping, or removing soft tissue. Lasers provide pin-point accuracy, making them the perfect tool for performing intricate procedures like gum recontouring or soft tissue removal.
Laser dentistry can be used in a variety of hard and soft tissue procedures, including:
