Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Here are some of the major benefits associated with laser dentistry:
·Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
·Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
·Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
·Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.
·Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
·Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
