How does a dental laser compare to a dental drill?
Drills are very powerful, and the vibration and large hole produced can cause discomfort, making some type of anesthesia almost always necessary. With the DELight™ laser, the light works to destroy and remove the decay with no uncomfortable tooth vibration and resulting discomfort. Additionally, because the laser is so precise, only the decayed part of the tooth is removed leaving more of the healthy part of the tooth. And the etched surface from the laser also allows for a stronger bond.
