What is Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry involves the use of highly focused beams of light energy to perform a wide variety of dental procedures traditionally done with drills, scalpels, or other manual instruments. These lasers provide exceptional accuracy and efficiency, significantly reducing discomfort, bleeding, swelling, and healing time, making dental visits much more comfortable and stress-free.
Traditional dental tools like drills can generate heat, vibrations, and noise, often causing patient discomfort, anxiety, and prolonged recovery. In contrast, laser dentistry eliminates these discomforts with quiet operation, minimal vibration, and precise control, offering a significantly more comfortable and relaxing experience for patients.
Laser Dentistry Procedures at Russell Lea Dental
Laser dentistry is suitable for a diverse range of patients, including individuals with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, children, older adults, and those seeking quicker recovery times after treatment.
Laser Frenectomy
The frenulum is a small fold of tissue connecting the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the mouth. When overly restrictive, it can cause difficulties with speech, eating, or oral hygiene. Our laser frenectomy gently and precisely modifies or removes the excess tissue, improving mobility and functionality. This minimally invasive procedure offers minimal discomfort and rapid recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
Periodontal (Gum) Treatment
Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health. Laser periodontal treatments allow us to gently and effectively remove inflamed or infected gum tissue surrounding the tooth roots. After removing the compromised tissue, our dental professionals thoroughly cleanse the area, removing plaque and tartar deposits. The laser simultaneously sterilises and seals gum pockets, reducing bacterial infections and accelerating the healing process.
Gum Contouring
If you’re self-conscious about your gumline or feel you have a “gummy smile,” laser gum contouring provides a swift and virtually painless solution. Dental lasers precisely reshape and sculpt the gum tissue, enhancing symmetry and revealing more of your beautiful teeth. This treatment typically involves little to no swelling, minimal discomfort, and rapid healing.
Laser-Assisted Root Canal (Endodontics)
Endodontic treatments, such as root canals, greatly benefit from laser technology. Dental lasers efficiently disinfect and sterilise the root canal system, eliminating bacteria and removing diseased tissue more effectively than conventional methods. This significantly reduces the risk of reinfection and complications, improving the overall success rate and patient comfort during and after treatment.
Cold Sore Treatment
Cold sores or fever blisters can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Our advanced laser treatment for cold sores accelerates the healing process, alleviates pain, and reduces the frequency and severity of future outbreaks by directly targeting the virus responsible. Patients frequently report immediate pain relief and faster recovery after this simple yet effective procedure.
Key Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Minimised Discomfort:
Laser treatments often eliminate the need for stitches and local anaesthesia, offering a more comfortable dental experience.
Reduced Bleeding:
Lasers encourage blood clotting, significantly minimising bleeding during and after procedures.
Lower Risk of Infection:
Laser sterilisation dramatically reduces bacterial presence, protecting the treated areas from infection.
Faster Healing:
Less invasive procedures with lasers ensure quicker tissue regeneration and shorter recovery periods.
Preservation of Healthy Tissue:
Dental lasers precisely target the affected areas, preserving more of the surrounding healthy tissue compared to traditional methods.
