Laser Dentistry in Coorparoo

By using lasers in restorative treatments (such as dental fillings), we remove the physical contact and trauma to the tooth. What does this mean for you? Reducing the need for local anaesthetics and uncomfortable sensations from often experienced by the drill. The laser does the clean-up and our patients walk out a happy camper.

Excess gum tissue can make your gums very prominent when you smile or can make your teeth look uneven in shape or size. Laser treatment can reduce the amount of gum tissue to improve your smile. The precision of the laser means results are very even and accurate, and the laser can also help prevent bleeding.

When a tooth has a complex root canal system, lasers can be used to aid the sterilisation process. Parts of the root that are difficult to access with traditional treatment can be sterilised using the laser, improving the chances of a successful treatment.

A low level laser light can be applied to areas of injury or lesions to promote healing, reduce inflammation and provide relief from acute and chronic pain.

The laser light can be applied directly to crowns, veneers and ceramic orthodontic brackets to aid in its removal without damaging the tooth underneath. It works by breaking the bond between the cement underneath the crown, veneer or orthodontic bracket and the tooth.
