Laser Dental Surgery Melbourne
At The Smile Designer Dental Studio, we utilise dental lasers in many aspects of our general dentistry — for quicker healing, reduced inflammation, and greater comfort.
What are dental lasers?
Lasers are medical devices that utilise powerful beams of light to cut, seal and disinfect soft tissue. They reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. Laser stands for ‘Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation’.
How do lasers work?
Lasers are a stream of focused ‘photons’ that have high energy potential. Lasers were first used in the 1980’s, and since then have revolutionised the way the medical world offers treatment due to their versatility and effectiveness.
What are the benefits of dental lasers?
Dental lasers allow for quicker healing, reduced inflammation and pain, and dramatically reduce bleeding by coagulating blood vessels during the procedure.
What are lasers used for at The Smile Designer?
The team routinely use lasers during treatment of:
- Periodontal gum treatments
- Root canal treatments
- Treating ulcers
- Frenectomies
- Biopsies
- Cosmetic gingivectomies, where excess gum is removed around the teeth
- Exposing implants for restorations
- Gingival troughing around restorations, especially around crown and veneer preparations
- During surgical procedures to raise flaps
- Treatment of pericoronitis, where excess inflamed tissue is removed around erupting wisdom teeth or second molars
