Laser Dentistry: What to Expect

Your laser dentistry treatment will depend on the type of dental issue you need to address. After an exam, your Bella Smiles dentist will create a treatment plan based on your oral needs. In most cases, patients report needing very little downtime and can return to their normal routine after treatment.

Gum Disease: Gum disease is a progressive oral health concern that affects the teeth and gums. If left untreated, gum disease can harm the health and function of the teeth, gums, and bone structure. In advanced cases of gum disease, gum surgery may be needed to restore health to your gums.

With the advancements in laser dentistry, your dentist can eliminate the need for gum surgery and use lasers to safely remove diseased tissue. Laser dentistry can clean the teeth and gums, and promote tissue regeneration.

Dental Cavities: Laser dentistry can safely treat decayed teeth without the need for traditional dental drills. Patients with dental anxiety can benefit from dental lasers because it means there is no need for invasive treatment and drills. Using laser, your dentist can remove the decay portion of the tooth. Once the dentist removes the decay, they will restore the tooth using a dental filling or dental crown.

Gum Contouring: Laser dentistry can address a gummy smile, restore a receding gum line, or change the shape of the gum line. Lasers will safely and effectively contour the gum line to match your cosmetic and oral health needs.
