We all want to have healthy teeth. But the thought of needles and drills makes the idea of visiting the dentist less appealing. Dental lasers now allow dental treatments to deliver an even better quality of dental care, with fewer visits while removing or reducing many of the common fears or discomforts the average person experiences with a visit to the dentist.



Lasers have revolutionised many fields of medical treatments, notably eye surgery and cosmetic medicine. High Tech Laser pioneered the use of this proven technology in Australia.  It is now an established aspect of modern dentistry, and is widely used throughout the world. Laser dentistry has been practised for more than 12 years, and recent advances have enhanced the considerable benefits for patients.

The benefits of laser dentistry for patients include:

• Less discomfort during and after treatments
• Preservation of natural, healthy tooth structure whilst targeting decay
• Fewer visits
• Protects teeth against further decay
• Less need for needles and drills
• Reduced treatment time

Laser dentistry can offer:

• Needle and drill-free fillings in the majority of cases
• One-hour superior teeth whitening with better results than conventional systems
• Effective treatments for sensitive teeth
• Root canal and gum disease treatments
• Laser treatments for procedures related to the soft tissue such gums or tongues that reduces bleeding

How does it work?

A wide variety of lasers are used in dentistry. Different lasers are used for different dental applications and these are chosen according to the way in which the particular laser interacts with the tissue in the mouth.

When the laser is applied to the target area, the laser energy is absorbed by a particular structure. Depending on the treatment, the effect may be to sterilise the area, or to remove decay, or even to make the teeth less sensitive. When used on soft tissue, lasers promote faster healing.

Your nearest laser dentist can talk to you about the laser or lasers they are using and what sort of treatments these lasers offer.

What If Your Dentist Hasn't Evolved To Using Lasers?

If your dentist doesn't have a laser consider visiting a Dentist who has to experience the comfort of the process.  Visit Laser Dentists Australia for a list of Dentists who are accredited laser users and are specifically trained in the laser treatments they provide.
