Sterilization
How sterile a procedure is can be a concern for any medical treatment. Lasers used in laser dentistry will instantly destroy any bacteria it comes into contact with. This makes laser dentistry an incredibly sterile procedure. This heavily reduces the chance of infection and other bacteria-caused complications.
Minimal Damage
Most medical procedures create small wounds around the treatment site. This is especially true for dentistry, where the smallest of movements can damage tissue. Lasers provide pinpoint accuracy that only damages necessary tissue. This limits bleeding, improve recovery time, and overall just makes the procedure more comfortable.
Healing
Healing and recovery are essential parts of any procedure. Laser dentistry makes a recovery significantly easier for your body. Laser dentistry causes no scarring and less bleeding. Combining that with the sterilizing effect of the laser and the minimal damage it causes, recovery is much easier. Laser dentistry also immediately seals any incisions made during the procedure. This also contributes to the many reasons laser dentistry is recovery friendly.
Safe for Old Dental Work
It’s common for people to have existing dental work. This includes things like metal dentistry, crowns, and dental implants. Thankfully, laser dentistry is completely safe for use if you’ve had old dental work done. Lasers are precise and can avoid any area that isn’t going to be treated.
