Laser Dentistry in Jefferson Park, Chicago, IL


Laser dentistry can treat a variety of issues inside the mouth including whitening teeth, removing overgrown gum tissue or reshaping the gumlines. Laser dentistry is often ideal for individuals who experience anxiety during dental work.

Laser dentistry is often less uncomfortable for patients and requires less healing time. It generally does not require anesthesia, reduces gum damage, and patients lose less blood and require fewer sutures.

Procedures Using Laser Dentistry

Lasers are used in many dental procedures involving hard and soft tissues. Depending on the procedure, the lasers operate at different wavelengths which determine the power of the energy light-beam being applied. Soft tissue laser dentistry includes gum biopsies, treating infections in the gums and root canals, reshaping the gumline, removing gum tissue overgrowth, exposing wisdom teeth, stimulating damaged nerves, and treating mouth ulcers or canker sores.

Laser dentistry is also useful in hard tissue procedures including the removal of tooth decay, preparing a tooth for a filling or root canal, setting crowns, and etching tooth surfaces in preparation of applying tooth bonding.

How Laser Dentistry Works

When dental treatments are done with a laser, a focused beam of light is directed on the area of treatment, which allows the dentist to precisely cut tissue, remove decay, or prepare materials. During the application of the high-energy light beam, the affected area is cauterized, which reduces blood loss, sterilizes the area, and speeds up healing time.

Laser dentistry is virtually painless and significantly faster than traditional methods. Laser dentistry also helps relieve dental anxiety as there are no needles or drills.
