Laser Tooth Cavity Treatment

Laser tooth cavity treatment uses focused light energy to remove decayed tooth material. The laser precisely targets the decay, vaporising it while preserving the surrounding healthy tooth structure.

Most patients report significantly less pain with laser cavity treatment compared to traditional methods. The precision of the laser often eliminates the need for anaesthesia.

The duration of the procedure varies depending on the extent of the decay, but laser treatments are typically faster because they require fewer steps than traditional drilling.

Laser cavity treatment is safe for most patients, including children and those with dental anxiety. However, it’s always best to consult with your dentist to determine if it’s the right option for you.

Side effects are minimal. Patients might experience slight sensitivity or discomfort post-treatment, but these symptoms usually subside quickly.

Laser treatment offers numerous advantages over traditional drilling, including greater precision, reduced pain, and faster recovery times. It also minimises the risk of cracking and chipping the tooth.

Laser treatment is effective for most types of cavities, especially those that are not too deep. Your dentist will assess your specific situation to determine the best course of action.

The cost can vary depending on the complexity of the treatment. While it may be slightly higher than traditional methods, many patients find the benefits worth the investment.
