Lasers
To many people, lasers mean high technology and progress. In dentistry, lasers provide better treatment with more comfort.
A laser is a device that concentrates light of a specific wavelength into high quantity of energy. The laser beam acts as a "light scalpel" (cutting soft tissues, pulverizing caries…) after absorption by the water of the human body tissues. Dental lasers are not too aggressive and over powerful like lasers seen in the movies. These lasers are actually calibrated, so they basically remove selective tissue in an ultra conservative way, leaving the patient feeling very comfortable after the procedure with superior clinical and predictable results.
There are multiple uses for dental lasers: conservative dentistry (treatment of decay), periodontal (gum pocket reduction), soft tissue surgery (excision of benign lesions), implantology (exposure of implants covered by the gum) and cosmetic dentistry.
We use two types of dental lasers: the BIOLASE (all-tissue laser allowing to treat both soft tissues and hard tissues such as enamel, dentin, bones or caries) and the DIODE (soft tissues only laser).
