Technology is transforming every aspect of healthcare—and dentistry is no exception. One of the most exciting advancements in modern dentistry is the use of lasers. At Century Dental, we’re proud to offer advanced laser treatments that make dental care more comfortable, precise, and efficient. If you’ve ever wondered how laser dentistry works or why it’s becoming so popular, here’s what you need to know.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses highly focused beams of light to perform dental procedures without the need for traditional tools like scalpels or drills. These lasers can target soft tissues (like gums) or hard tissues (like teeth and bone) with incredible precision. The result is a gentler, minimally invasive approach that benefits patients in many ways.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Patients who experience laser dental treatments often notice a range of advantages over traditional methods. Some of the key benefits include:
- Less pain and discomfort during and after treatment
- Reduced bleeding since the laser seals blood vessels as it works
- Lower risk of infection because the laser sterilizes the treatment area
- Faster healing and recovery times
- Minimal need for anesthesia in many procedures
- More precision, meaning less impact on surrounding healthy tissues
These benefits can make a big difference, especially for patients who feel nervous about dental procedures or want to avoid lengthy recovery periods.
Common Laser Treatments at Century Dental
At Century Dental, we use advanced laser technology to provide a wide range of services. Some of the treatments that may be performed with lasers include:
- Laser root canal therapy for a more comfortable, thorough cleaning of infected tooth roots
- NightLase® therapy to reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea by tightening tissues in the airway
- Infant laser frenectomy to release tongue-ties or lip-ties in babies, supporting better feeding
