Laser Dental Treatments What?
Laser dental treatments have brought a new dimension to dentistry treatments. Laser energy, which was used only in teeth whitening and soft tissue operations in the past in the field of dentistry, is now used in many processes from the treatment of dental and gum diseases to dental aesthetics, with the development of new hard tissue lasers.
It is possible to work with lasers without touching the teeth and gums. This situation increases the satisfaction of the patient in the treatment of many dental interventions (cleaning the caries, teeth whitening, etc.).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the advantages of Laser Dental Treatments?
The selective behavior of the laser beam, whose power can be adjusted, ensures the completion of the treatment with less material loss. It is possible to get better results in a very short time in laser “teeth whitening” procedures.
In laser surgical applications, there is almost no bleeding during the procedure. The possibility of complications, swelling and discomfort that may occur after each surgical application is reduced and a faster recovery is achieved.
Is there any harm in terms of health?
The laser is a non-ionizing light and does not accumulate in the tissue. For this reason, it does not have a harmful feature like x-rays. It is important to use the correct doses by using the appropriate laser wavelength.
