Laser Dentistry
Experience advanced gum disease treatment and minimally invasive dental care with laser dentistry at Pragma Dental.
What is laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses highly focused light energy to perform a variety of dental procedures with greater precision and comfort than many traditional techniques. Dental lasers can be used for both soft tissue treatments, such as gum reshaping and periodontal therapy, and hard tissue procedures, including cavity treatment and tooth preparation.
Unlike conventional methods that often require scalpels or drills, laser dentistry allows for more targeted treatment while preserving healthy tissue and promoting faster healing.
What types of dental laser treatments do you offer?
Laser Gum Contouring
Laser gum contouring reshapes uneven gum tissue to create a more balanced and attractive smile. This treatment can improve aesthetics while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Laser periodontal therapy helps remove infected tissue and bacteria associated with gum disease. It promotes healing while preserving healthy gum tissue.
Laser Gum Disease Treatment
Dental lasers can target harmful bacteria beneath the gumline and help reduce inflammation associated with gingivitis and periodontitis.
Laser Frenectomy
A laser frenectomy can release restrictive oral tissue that may affect speech, feeding, or orthodontic treatment. The procedure is quick, gentle, and often requires little recovery.
Laser Cavity Treatment
For select cases, lasers can remove tooth decay and prepare the tooth for restoration without the vibration associated with traditional dental drills.
Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser-assisted whitening treatments can accelerate the whitening process and help patients achieve a brighter smile in less time.
Laser Gum Therapy & Treatments
Laser technology has transformed the way dentists treat gum disease. During laser gum therapy, the laser targets infected tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving healthy gum structures. This minimally invasive approach can reduce bleeding, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery.
Laser periodontal treatment is often recommended for patients experiencing gingivitis, periodontitis, gum recession, or chronic inflammation. By promoting healthier gums and supporting the body’s natural healing process, laser therapy can play an important role in restoring long-term oral health.
