Laser Dentistry Near Me, 93720 - How it Works
Laser dentistry is a safe technique that uses extremely focused beams of light to remove or alter small amounts of tissues. This mode of treatment has been used in clinical dental practice since 1989, though it started to become popular in 1994 after FDA approval. There are different types of lasers that can be used in dentistry to treat soft and hard tissues. Common treatments include:
- To expose teeth that take too long to erupt
- Laser gum contouring - also known as aesthetic gingival recontouring
- For lingual and labial frenectomy
- To remove tissue tags
- To reduce the severity or pain of aphthous ulcers or canker sores
