You might have heard of laser dentistry before, but do you really understand what it’s all about? It’s not always as straightforward as it sounds. (And to be honest, it doesn’t exactly sound simple.) Here are some examples of procedures that can be augmented by lasers:
– Relieving discomfort from cold sores: Cold sores are no fun, especially for those of us who seem disposed to them nearly continuously. By using dental lasers, we can treat cold sores by strengthening the speediness of recuperation time and curtailing their painful effects.
– Removal of benign tumors: Tumors can form in the soft tissues of your mouth, and if those tumors are benign, we can eradicate them from your mouth using lasers.
– Smile molding: A few people might find that the look of their gum tissue dwarfs their chompers during smiles. (This is sometimes referred to as “gummy smile.”) We can use oral lasers to shape your gums in a way that improves the look of your smile.
– Teeth whitening: Many stains are just too difficult to get out without the help of an oral professional. Dental lasers can also be utilized as a part of teeth whitening, usually during the prepping phase.
