Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Laser?
Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A dental laser is a medical device that generates a precise beam of concentrated light energy. This beam sterilizes the area and coagulates blood vessels which minimize infection and/or bleeding. Patient discomfort is decreased and the need for anesthetic in most cases is completely eliminated.
The efficiency of the laser is based on peak absorption rates of unique laser wavelengths by hard/soft tissue and other dental material.
Lasers are used to perform a variety of hard and soft tissue procedures as well as tooth whitening.

Are Lasers Safe ?
When compared with traditional devices, dental lasers can actually minimize the risk of damage to lateral tissue, based on the precise and specific control over power output, time and spot size.
Laser light is more efficient than conventional light sources. Lasers produce an intense and narrow, concentrated beam of light comprised of a single wavelength. Traditional light sources encompass a continuum of light comprising the entire spectrum including infrared (heat) and ultraviolet. As lasers are capable of producing the precise wavelengths required, the same energy can be delivered using a laser with lower power in a shorter period of time, hence less heat and potential damage to surrounding tissue.

Is pain experienced during and/or after laser treatment ?
Pain is either eliminated entirely or significantly reduced as a result of the lasers selective, precise control. One of the dental lasers fundamental advantages is the minimal requirement for anesthetic. Dental lasers kill bacteria in the mouth, eliminate bleeding through coagulation, and reduce pain. Healing is faster thus minimizing discomfort associated with healing process.
