What is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry is an advanced dental technology that uses focused beams of light energy to perform a variety of dental procedures with precision and accuracy. At St. Pete Oral Health Center in St. Petersburg, FL, we offer laser dentistry as a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to traditional dental techniques, providing patients with comfortable and efficient treatment experiences.
What Does it Do?
Laser dentistry can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including:
- Gum disease treatment: Laser therapy can remove infected gum tissue, eliminate bacteria, and promote gum tissue regeneration for improved periodontal health.
- Gum reshaping: Laser technology can sculpt and reshape gum tissue to improve the appearance of a "gummy" smile or uneven gum line.
- Tooth decay removal: Lasers can precisely target and remove decayed tooth structure while preserving healthy tooth structure, minimizing the need for anesthesia and reducing discomfort.
- Soft tissue procedures: Laser technology can be used for biopsies, frenectomies, and other soft tissue surgeries with minimal bleeding and faster healing times.
