How Does the Patient Benefit from Laser Dentistry?
Patient comfort is a leading advantage over conventional surgical modalities. Lasers can reduce the need for anesthetic, minimize post-operative swelling and discomfort, and enhance patient recovery. Since lasers provide a clean, hemostatic operating field, visibility is often better than with a scalpel – even down in the pocket. Also, several procedures using lasers are more efficient than traditional surgical modalities, resulting in reduced chair-time for patients and increased turnover rates for dentists.
