The Benefits of Laser Dentistry
When you think of dental tools, lasers probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind. But in today’s dental world, laser technology is reshaping how dentists treat soft and hard tissue. Laser dentistry can be used for cavity treatment, gum therapy, and even cosmetic procedures—with more comfort and precision than many traditional methods.
More Comfortable Treatment, Less Healing Time
One of the biggest advantages of laser dentistry is comfort. Many patients feel less vibration and pressure compared to standard tools. In many cases, numbing may not be necessary—or only minimal anesthetic is used. This makes procedures feel easier, especially for those with dental anxiety. Plus, the laser reduces bleeding and swelling, helping your mouth heal faster afterward.
Precision Matters in Every Procedure
Lasers allow for incredibly precise targeting. Whether removing tooth decay or reshaping gum tissue, Dr. Rita Kengskool can treat only the area that needs work—leaving healthy tissue untouched. That means less inflammation, fewer side effects, and results that feel more natural.
A Cleaner, Quieter Experience
Laser tools also help sterilize the area as they work, reducing bacteria and lowering the risk of infection. And for those sensitive to the high-pitched whine of a dental drill, laser dentistry offers a quieter, less jarring alternative. It’s one of the reasons more patients are asking Dr. Kengskool about laser options.
Great for a Range Of Dental Needs
Laser dentistry can be used in several types of care:
Removing cavities
Treating gum disease
Reshaping or recontouring gums
Exposing partially erupted teeth
Helping with cold sores or canker sores
It’s not a fit for every case, but it’s a versatile tool with broad benefits.
