Laser therapy in dentistry provides patients with a more comfortable dental treatment experience. Using laser therapy, Dr. Altman is able to deliver a more precise treatment that is more comfortable, quicker, and provides more stunning results for his patients.

Benefits of laser therapy

There are several benefits to receiving a laser therapy dental treatment, including:

• Many laser treatments do not require anesthesia, and the recovery time is much quicker than with traditional treatment methods.
• Treatments are comfortable.
• There is less of a chance of bacterial infection because laser treatments are so precise.

Two types of laser dentistry

There are two different types of laser dentistry, hard tissue and soft tissue. Hard tissue includes treatments such as cavity detection, dental fillings, and improving tooth sensitivity. Soft tissue treatments include gum reshaping and improving muscle attachment.

Procedures such as removing benign oral cancers, nerve regeneration, overcoming sleep apnea, teeth whitening, and TMJ treatment are also considered laser dentistry treatments.
