An Overview Of Laser Dentistry

Lasers are actually light beams which are used in dental procedures to alter or remove the overgrown tissue. Though you might need an anesthesia or sedative due to anxiety, the treatment procedure is less painful. Unlike normal dental procedures, a patient won’t feel any vibration or discomfort which generally came up due to the use of mouth drills. This means photon dental laser diodes are quite comfortable and convenient to treat your tooth and gum problems. It is an ideal choice for treating:

Types of Laser Diodes Used In Dentistry

When it comes to laser dentistry, dentists use two main types of laser diodes i.e. hard tissue and soft tissue. The major difference in both of them is the wavelength of the laser light. By altering the wavelength or pulse, these diodes are crafted for compatibility with the mouth tissues.

Soft Tissue Lasers

As the name suggests, soft tissue lasers act on the soft tissues and gums by using a light wave which can be easily absorbed by the hemoglobin and water. Some soft tissue lasers are diode lasers. They are great for cosmetic procedures as the healing process takes place quickly and the results can be seen right away. Photon dental diode soft tissue laser by Zolartek is ideal for:

• Increasing the length of crowns.
