Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is the latest revolution in dentistry. It has made the care of teeth something it’s never been 
before – painless!
Lasers are one of the most precise, gentle and minimally invasive tools medicine and dentistry have ever known. They have significantly improved eye surgery, microscopic surgery and cosmetic surgery treatments, and the Laser LifeCARE Institute is now leading the way with laser dentistry in New Zealand.
Lasers can be used for therapy and surgery inside and around the mouth with less discomfort and faster healing compared to conventional scalpel surgery, and generally without the need for injections or sutures. Lasers improve the outcome of many procedures like root canal treatment, gum disease treatment and ulcer treatment because they sterilise and kill bacteria better than anything else.
Are lasers safe?
In the hands of a trained professional, yes they are extremely safe. They're much safer than the drills and scalpels that dentists use all the time. The precision of lasers allows us to do surgery without collateral damage and the tissues around the surgery area are actually stimulated by the intense light to heal faster.
In short, lasers are:
- Pain-Less
- Safer than conventional scalpel surgery
- Allow you to heal faster, without bleeding, swelling and sutures
- Cause less damage than most traditional surgical methods
- Kill Bacteria like nothing else can, hence sterilizing surgical areas and allowing the best healing
