Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is a minimally invasive approach used to perform a variety of soft tissue and hard tissue procedures with precision and comfort. At Dentistry at Vitality Health, we incorporate dental lasers as part of our technology suite to enhance treatment outcomes and patient experience.

Laser technology uses focused light energy to reshape or remove tissue with minimal impact on surrounding areas. It is commonly used in procedures like gum reshaping, treating periodontal pockets, removing oral lesions, or performing frenectomies. In many cases, laser procedures involve less bleeding, swelling, or discomfort than traditional surgical techniques.

One of the key advantages of laser dentistry is its ability to reduce the need for local anesthesia. Because the laser minimizes trauma to tissue and can even seal blood vessels as it works, recovery tends to be quicker and post-operative discomfort is often reduced.

Dental lasers can also be used in certain cases to support cavity removal and preparation, making them an alternative to conventional drills. The precision of laser systems allows us to preserve healthy tissue while targeting only the affected areas.

In hygiene and periodontal therapy, lasers can assist in deep cleaning by removing bacteria from under the gumline. This supports healing and helps maintain gum health in a non-invasive manner.

With laser dentistry, we can perform many treatments with greater precision and improved patient comfort, supporting efficient care that’s gentle and effective.
