What is Dental Laser?

A focused light beam device used for precise soft and hard tissue procedures in dentistry.
Dental lasers use concentrated light energy to perform procedures with greater precision and less discomfort. Soft tissue lasers (diode, Nd:YAG) handle gum contouring and periodontal treatment. Hard tissue lasers (Er:YAG) remove decay and prepare teeth. Benefits include reduced bleeding, faster healing, and less need for anesthesia.
