Laser Surgery

The increasing use of lasers is allowing dentists to carry out certain procedures more precisely and effectively, lessening the impact on surrounding tissue.

Laser surgery refers to any procedure that involves the use of a laser instead of a scalpel, drill, or another cutting tool. It is a fast, modern approach to many restorative and cosmetic dental treatments.

What are the benefits of lasers over conventional cutting tools?

A laser is more accurate than a scalpel, allowing for more focused treatment and shorter healing time. The use of a laser typically causes less damage to the surrounding tissues, and hence less post-operative discomfort and swelling. In some cases, you may not even require an anaesthetic before your treatment.

• Gingivectomy
