Laser Dentistry
Wear The Smile That Perfectly Suits You
Laser dentistry is an innovative and precise way to perform dental care for gum surgery, cavity treatment, or oral issues and other dental procedures. It is a minimally invasive option and has a huge potential to improve dental procedures.
A laser is an instrument that produces a narrow, intense beam of light energy. Medical professionals use these focused beams to remove or shape tissues in a highly specific area without damaging surrounding tissues. On contact with tissue, it causes a reaction. Laser has proved to be an effective tool to increase efficiency, cost, comfort, ease and shorter time spans of dental procedures. Laser dentistry is best suited for children who are frightened of dental work done on them.
Lasers used in dentistry
Dentists use lasers in a variety of procedures depending on the tissue type.

Types of Laser
Lasers used in dental practice can be classified into lasing mediums (gas laser and solid laser). Tissue applicability (hard tissue and soft tissue lasers) and range of wavelength.
Dentists choose laser because of the distinct benefits laser provide over traditional or manual treatments such as
- Anaesthetic is not necessary laser treatment
- Lasers sterilize the gums avoiding infections
- Since the laser is targeted towards the area of interest, so less healing time and less damage to gums
- Less loss of blood than conventional surgery
Laser surgeries are similar to other dentistry surgeries. You walk into the dentist’s office like an ordinary dental visit. The dentist gives you a small amount of anaesthesia, lies you back on the chair with your mouth propped open while he works his way inside. You might feel some vibrations or small discomfort from the laser but that is normal and the feeling goes away quickly.
Dental lasers are as safe as any other dental instrument. Just make sure your dentist is a trained practitioner. German Dental Center has the best dentists with years of laser education and training.
