Laser Dentistry in Ottawa

What is laser dentistry?

Laser dentistry is a procedure that involves lasers, which help in treating several dental problems. These problems may cause periodontal disease (gum disease), which is an infection of the teeth, bone, and gum caused by plaque. Through laser dentistry, the laser eliminates the pain and decontaminates the infected area. This treatment provides quick healing.

Use of lasers in Ottawa's Laser Dentistry office of Upper Hunt Club. Different kinds of lasers are used to treat:
• Biopsy/lesion removal. Lasers remove a tissue called biopsy. This tissue is removed to examine for cancer. Lesions are discarded to mitigate the pain of canker sores
• Gum disease. Reshaping and removing bacteria from root canal is the work of a laser when dealing with this condition.
• Teeth whitening. Lasers are used to accelerate teeth whitening procedures. The laser energy activates the peroxide bleaching solution applied on the teeth thus speeding the whitening process.

For a bone graphing to be considered successful, the jaw must be strong enough to bear a dental implant.
