Curious about laser dentistry at London Dental Specialists? We understand you may have questions about this advanced treatment option. Laser dentistry offers precise, often less invasive alternatives to traditional dental procedures for issues like gum disease, cavity treatment, and soft tissue concerns. Many patients appreciate the reduced discomfort, faster healing times, and exceptional results our laser treatments provide. While laser dentistry isn't suitable for every dental situation—such as treating teeth with existing fillings or certain types of decay—our specialists can determine if it's right for your specific needs. Below, we've answered the most common questions our patients ask about laser dentistry to help you make an informed decision about your dental care.
Laser dentistry uses focused light beams to perform precise dental procedures. At London Dental Specialists, our advanced laser technology allows us to treat various dental conditions with minimal discomfort. The laser creates energy in the form of light, which can cut or vaporise tissue when it comes in contact with it. This technology enables more precise treatment with less trauma to surrounding tissues compared to traditional methods.
At London Dental Specialists, we utilise laser technology for numerous dental procedures, including:
Laser dentistry typically causes significantly less discomfort than traditional dental methods. Many patients at London Dental Specialists report minimal to no pain during laser procedures. The precision of laser technology means less trauma to surrounding tissues, reduced bleeding, and faster healing times. In many cases, laser treatments require less or even no anaesthesia, making the overall experience more comfortable.
Laser dentistry offers numerous advantages, including:
While laser dentistry offers many benefits, it does have some limitations. Laser treatments cannot be used on teeth with existing fillings, for interdental cavities (between teeth), or for cases of excessive tooth decay. Additionally, lasers cannot remove damaged crowns or bridges. During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, we will assess whether laser treatment is suitable for your specific dental needs.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the results of laser dental treatments can be long-lasting. For gum treatments, results can last for many years when combined with good home care. For cavity treatments, the longevity is similar to traditional fillings. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend biannual check-ups to monitor your oral health and ensure the longevity of all dental treatments.
Laser dentistry is considered very safe when performed by qualified professionals like our team at London Dental Specialists. Protective eyewear is provided during treatment to shield your eyes from the laser. The precision of laser technology actually reduces risks associated with traditional dental tools. However, as with any dental procedure, there are minimal risks, which our specialists will discuss with you during your consultation.
The cost of laser dentistry at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the specific procedure and individual needs. While some laser treatments may have a higher initial cost than traditional methods, they often require fewer follow-up visits and have reduced recovery time, potentially offering better value in the long term. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during consultations, and offer various payment options to make advanced dental care accessible.
Aftercare following laser dental treatment is typically simpler than with traditional methods. Most patients experience less discomfort and faster healing. Our team at London Dental Specialists will provide specific aftercare instructions based on your procedure, which may include temporary dietary adjustments, gentle brushing around treated areas, and possibly antimicrobial rinses. We're always available to address any concerns during your recovery period.
