Types of Laser Dentistry Treatments
At Beyond Dental Clinic, we offer a variety of laser dentistry treatments to meet the diverse needs of our patients:
Laser Gum Reshaping
Gum reshaping, also known as gum contouring, uses lasers to sculpt the gum line. This is particularly beneficial for patients with a “gummy” smile or uneven gums.
Laser Frenectomy
A frenectomy is the removal of the frenulum, a small fold of tissue in the mouth that can cause issues with speech or breastfeeding in infants. Laser frenectomy is quick, precise, and reduces healing time.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers numerous advantages over traditional dental procedures:
Minimally Invasive
Lasers allow for minimally invasive procedures, reducing the need for incisions and sutures. This leads to faster healing and less discomfort.
Reduced Bleeding and Swelling
Laser energy coagulates blood vessels during procedures, resulting in less bleeding and swelling compared to traditional methods.
Precision and Accuracy
The precision of lasers ensures that only targeted tissue is affected, preserving more of the healthy structure and enhancing the outcome of treatments.
Faster Healing Times
The minimally invasive nature of laser dentistry promotes quicker recovery and healing, allowing patients to return to their normal activities sooner.
Lower Risk of Infection
Lasers sterilise the area being treated, reducing the risk of infection and promoting a healthier healing environment.
