A laser is a high-technology device that generates a beam of concentrated light. This beam of light brings energy into the mouth which produces a reaction with the tissue, making it possible to remove or modify it.
It's typically applied in several procedures such as tooth decay, bleaching, caries prevention, and dentinal hypersensitivity.
Laser Dentistry is used to treat a wide variety of dental conditions.
Offering a more convenient and quicker treatment option for the patient. Among the benefits are:
- Minimal damage to the surrounding tissues
- Some procedures with lasers don't require sutures
- For some procedures, it is not needed to use anesthesia
- It is less painful, making this more comfortable for the patient
- Minimal bleeding due to high-energy light beams which inhibits blood loss
- The laser light sterilizes the area reducing the risk of infection
- Wounds heal faster and tissues can regenerate quicker
Laser Dental Whitening and Cleaning
Laser Dental Whitening
The laser whitening technology is performed by applying a translucent bleaching gel to the teeth and laser light is used to activate the crystals to absorb the energy from the light and penetrate the teeth enamel to increase the lightening effect on the teeth.
The length of time in the cosmetic dentist's chair depends on the degree of discoloration you have.

The process of laser dental whitening
Generally, this is the process that takes place when getting laser dental whitening:
- The dental professional will place a prop in your mouth to keep it open during the procedure.
- After placing the prop, you will have to put on a pair of protective glasses and a gum barrier to protect your gums.
- The dentist then will apply the bleaching gel to your teeth.
- Only a few minutes will pass and the dentist will direct a laser onto your teeth.
- The laser will react with the bleaching gel making your teeth whiter.
- The gum barrier will be removed and the bleaching gel rinsed out.
Laser Dental Cleaning
Laser cleaning reduces practically to nothing the sensitivity that you may experience in your teeth and gums a few days after treatment and promotes faster recovery of the tissues.
Root Canal Treatment
The latest technology used in endodontics. It eliminates infections, helps the cicatrization, and kills bacteria through laser light energy.
The anatomy of the root canal system is quite complex; without a laser, the disinfectants used in this procedure aren’t able to fully penetrate the hard-to-reach spaces in the root canal.
When the laser is used it causes the bubbling of the disinfectant, pushing it into these spaces.
Is Dental Laser safe?
The use of laser for dental treatments is safe as long as adequate precautions are being taken. It is crucial that everyone present wears protective glasses.
