What is laser dentistry?

Laser dentistry is a minimally invasive approach to modern dental care that uses focused light energy to precisely treat both hard and soft tissues, without the need for direct physical contact.

At Pure Dental Health, we utilise advanced laser systems including the Waterlase iPlus, which combines laser energy with a fine stream of water to perform a wide range of treatments with minimal discomfort.

Dental lasers can also effectively eliminate harmful bacteria during treatment – supporting improved clinical outcomes across a range of procedures.

Laser dentistry procedures

Laser technology can be used across a broad range of advanced to cosmetic dental treatments:

Periodontal care (gum disease) – Laser energy penetrates deep into the gum pockets, targeting harmful bacteria where conventional instruments can’t reach.

Root canals – Laser disinfects the root canal more thoroughly than conventional methods, reducing the risk of reinfection.

Ceramic crowns – Where crown lengthening is needed, laser reshapes the gum line precisely and comfortably.

Cosmetic treatments – Laser allows us to precisely recontour the gum line, improving smile aesthetics comfortably and with a faster recovery.

Laser dentistry benefits

Laser dentistry offers patients a significantly more comfortable and efficient treatment experience. Many procedures can be completed with little to no anaesthesia or sedation, reducing pain and anxiety.

Patients also benefit from faster recovery, typically experiencing less bleeding, swelling, and post-operative discomfort. The bactericidal properties of dental lasers further support better long-term outcomes for patients undergoing treatment.

Compared to conventional methods, laser dentistry removes many of the elements patients find most daunting – the drill, the needle, and the lengthy recovery. The result is a treatment experience that is more precise, less invasive, and considerably more comfortable.

  • Laser is a drill-free treatment (although inc complex vases they may still be required)
  • Reduced need for injections or stitches
  • Less trauma to surrounding tissues
  • Shorter recovery times
  • Quieter, more comfortable experience
  • Ideal for nervous or anxious patients
