Because laser dentistry uses precision lasers, there are many benefits to it uses, and the list grows every year. These benefits include:
- Many soft tissue dental procedures performed using lasers do not require the use of sutures, or stitches.
- Damage to the tissue the surrounds the area being worked on is minimal, compared to use of other dental instruments.
- Some procedures don’t require the use of anesthesia.
- Lasers minimize bleeding in many dental procedures because the energy sources or light that is used aids in the clotting of blood vessels.
- Bacteria are minimized because the lasers sterilize the tissue. For this reason, lasers are capable of minimizing the possibility of the patient contracting an infection.
- Patient recovery times are minimized because their wounds heal more quickly.
- Tissue and blood vessels can even be regenerated when lasers are used in many dental procedures.
