What Is Laser Dentistry?
An advanced laser dentistry approach can bring a more comfortable and modern feel to dental visits. This modern approach provides a more precise treatment with less disruption to healthy tissue. At Morlan Family Dental, our dental team uses modern laser dentistry as part of a personalized approach for patients of all ages. Dental practitioners may address two types of laser dentistry during treatment: hard tissues and soft tissues. Hard tissue lasers are often used around the teeth and may assist with cavity-related treatment and other procedures involving enamel or tooth structure. Soft tissue lasers focus on the gums and surrounding areas and can help with procedures involving gum contouring and laser dentistry for gum disease treatment. Schedule a consultation at our Plymouth, MA practice to learn more about laser dentistry and treatment options available for your smile.
What Should I Expect from Laser Dentistry?
Many laser dental procedures begin much like a traditional dental visit. Your dental team starts with an exam and discusses the treatment plan before the procedure begins. During laser dental treatment, hard tissue lasers direct focused light energy toward the tooth structure. This type of treatment may assist with areas involving enamel or cavities while helping preserve healthy tooth material. It can also create a more precise treatment area for improved oral health. Soft tissue laser treatment targets the gums and surrounding tissue. Focused energy can reshape or treat gum areas with added precision while helping remove unhealthy tissue and promote healthier gum conditions. Patients receiving laser dentistry for gum disease treatment may experience added comfort during some procedures with certain sedation options for additional relaxation during treatment.
