LASER ASSISTED DENTISTRY
Laser-Assisted Dentistry: More Comfortable, Faster Treatment
Dental laser technology offers less bleeding, less pain, and a faster healing process compared to traditional dentistry practices. The dental lasers used at Prodenta Dental Clinic work on a 'peeling' principle, gradually shaping the tissue instead of cutting it; this minimizes damage to surrounding tissues.
Is Dental Laser Safe?
-
Modern lasers used in dentistry, when applied under appropriate conditions, do not cause any harm to surrounding tissues. Procedure parameters are adjusted on a case-by-case basis by an experienced dentist; patients wear protective eyewear during the procedure.
In which treatments are lasers used?
-
Gum Shaping and Aesthetics (Pink Aesthetics)
In cases of gummy smile (excess gum tissue showing when smiling) and asymmetrical gum margins, laser treatment precisely reshapes the gum tissue to create the ideal smile line. Because it coagulates bleeding instantly, stitches are usually not required; healing time is extremely short.
-
Treatment of Aphthous Ulcers and Herpes
When laser light is applied to aphthous ulcers and herpes lesions, a rapid reduction in pain and a significant improvement in healing rate are achieved.
-
Gum Disease Treatment (Periodontal Laser)
The laser reaches deep gum pockets, cleans infected tissue, reduces bacterial load, and promotes tissue regeneration.
-
Tooth Decay Treatment
In early-stage caries, lasers can remove decayed dentin tissue without the need for milling.
-
Tooth Sensitivity Relief
Laser treatment combined with fluoride application effectively reduces tooth sensitivity by sealing the dentin tubules.
-
Teeth Whitening
Laser light activates the whitening gel, increasing the effectiveness and speed of the treatment.
-
Implant Applications
Lasers can be used to disinfect the implant surface and to open healed implant tops.
-
Removal of Dark Pigmentation in the Gums
In individuals with darker skin, gingival pigmentation (melanin deposits) can be removed using laser peeling, resulting in pink and uniform gums.
