Laser dentistry can be a comfortable, safe treatment option for a variety of common dental issues. Dentists use this innovative technology to provide patients with a high level of care.
Laser dentistry concentrates light energy into a focused beam that can help treat gum disease, tooth decay, discoloration, sensitivity, and more. Laser dentistry is available at BlueSky Orthodontics in Lubbock and the surrounding area.
We use this procedure for a wide range of treatments for problems with teeth, gums, and temporomandibular joint disorder. Laser treatment can benefit many patients and can even work in combination with other procedures. Call us at to make an appointment and learn more about how laser dentistry and other cutting-edge techniques can help you. We will use various levels of intensity with the laser to target different types of tissue. For example, the soft tissue of the gums needs a different strength than the hard tissue of a tooth.
Lasers can also act as diagnostic tools, with optical coherence tomography offering a non-invasive way to see the interior of teeth and gums. Laser instruments have a wide range of uses beyond preventing infection, including cosmetic and diagnostic applications.
Possible procedures for dental lasers include reshaping gums, removing tooth decay, removing bacteria from gums, lesion removal, and teeth whitening. Dentists may use laser tools in combination with traditional instruments.
