Pinpointed high-tech: Laser therapy

The advantages of laser treatment in dentistry are obvious:

• Noiseless and barely noticeable thermal application

• No bleeding

• More precise and quicker treatment with less anaesthetic

• Deeper tissue layers can also be easily reached

• Faster wound healing through the simultaneous destruction of germs during the treatment

Painless effect with accelerated light energy

In periodontology, inflamed gingival pockets, for example, can be cleaned with intense, short laser pulses. Virtually germ-free conditions facilitate the long-term success of the treatment.

Similar lasting success is achieved in the deeper parts of the root, in the root canal (endodontia). Sterilisation through laser therapy shortens the treatment time and the healing period.

The process of bleaching (tooth whitening) can be further accelerated with a soft laser. The intensity of the bleaching agent is increased by the laser application, and the teeth are whitened more quickly.

Virus infections such as herpes (”cold sores” in the lip area) or inflammation of the mucosa (gum, oral cavity, tongue), called aphthas, can be also gently treated with a soft laser, and can even be prevented at the early stages. With the help of targeted treatment, patients can be symptom-free more quickly and wounds heal faster.
