Laser assisted dental treatment in Alanya, Antalya
Laser technology has been used in medicine since the 1960s and in dentistry for more than 20 years. In Turkey, laser-assisted dentistry has recently developed considerably in both soft tissue and hard tissue treatments.
Laser devices, which produce a narrow and focused beam of light through an optical amplification process, offer the opportunity to perform precise procedures on teeth and soft tissues. Thanks to laser-assisted treatments in dentistry, it is possible to provide patients with more comfort and effectiveness in both aesthetic and treatment areas.
Uses of laser in dentistry
Laser-assisted dentistry has many different treatment areas. The most preferred applications of lasers in dentistry are as follows:
Gum contouring and periodontal treatments
Laser gum contouring treatment
The laser is used to precisely cut and reshape the gingival margins. Thus, an aesthetic appearance is achieved and makes a significant contribution to smile design.
Periodontal sterilization and disinfection
In cases of gum recession and periodontal pockets, the laser is used to target bacteria and remove inflamed tissues. This method used in gum cleaning is applied in a minimally invasive way without the need for surgical intervention. Dental abscesses and stubborn infections are easily treated without the need for long-term antibiotic treatments.
Tooth decay and filling treatments with laser
Laser-assisted tooth decay removal
The laser precisely removes decayed tissue on the tooth while eliminating the vibration and discomfort caused by traditional rotary instruments. Thus, the patient experiences less pain and stress.
Dental filling with laser
Before filling, the tooth surface is roughened with a laser so that the filling material adheres better to the tooth. This method offers the possibility of application without the need for anaesthesia. Thus, laser tooth filling is performed more comfortably.
Laser-assisted root canal treatment
Laser-assisted root canal treatment melts the bacterial residues in the root canals, called the “smear layer”, and provides deeper cleaning. This reduces the risk of infection and shortens the treatment time.
Implants and dental surgery
Laser-assisted implant treatment
The bone structure is examined in detail with three-dimensional imaging before the implant tooth. The laser minimises bleeding by allowing interventions without cutting the gums and without the need for stitches. This allows the implant to be placed in a healthy way and accelerates the healing process.
Tooth Removal with Laser
In difficult tooth extraction procedures such as impacted tooth extraction and interventions on hard tissues such as gums and bone, the laser reduces risks with its minimally invasive structure and prevents damage to surrounding tissues.
Laser teeth whitening
The laser used in the laser teeth whitening process maximises the effect of the whitening gel, allowing the teeth whitening process to be completed in a short time and effectively. This method preserves the natural tooth tissue by keeping tooth sensitivity to a minimum.
Aphthous ulcers (canker sore) treatments
Mouth ulcers treatnents with laser
The laser promotes rapid healing by drying out lesions in the mouth and reducing inflammation. This makes the treatment of particularly uncomfortable canker sores and cold sores more comfortable. Laser treatment of canker sores and cold sores offers precise and effective solutions.
Treatment for tooth sensitivity
Tooth hypersensitivity can occur as a result of exposed tooth roots. Laser treatment closes the tubules in these areas, reducing nerve impulses and controlling sensitivity.
Different laser-assisted treatments
Removing benign tumors with laser
For the removal of suspicious lesions and benign tumors, laser technology offers precise and controlled cutting. This speeds up the diagnostic process while maintaining patient comfort.
Laser frenectomy treatment (tongue tie surgery)
The tissues in the area where the lips connect to the gums and the tongue to the floor of the mouth are called frenulum or frenum. In laser frenectomy treatment, abnormal tissue connections in the gum or tongue frenum are cut with a laser, eliminating problems that can lead to speech or eating disorders.
Advantages of laser-assisted dental treatments
Laser dentistry offers many advantages:
- Less pain and discomfort: Compared to traditional methods, laser-assisted dental treatments cause much less pain and stress to the patient.
- Fast healing process and minimal risk of infection: Laser treatments minimise tissue damage, resulting in a shorter healing time and a reduced risk of infection.
- Less bleeding: The laser's gentle effects minimise bleeding during treatment.
- Quiet and comfortable application: Laser-assisted dental treatments do not create the vibrations and noises of mechanical instruments. This is a significant benefit, particularly for patients who experience anxiety during dental procedures.
- Accurate targeting: The laser beam precisely targets the treatment area, preventing damage to surrounding tissues.
What to do after laser dental treatment
After laser-assisted dental treatment, there are some points to be considered depending on the type of procedures:
- Infection risk and hygiene: The post-procedure area should be kept sterile, and oral hygiene protocols recommended by the dentist should be followed.
- Nutrition recommendations: It is recommended to avoid extremely hot, cold or hard foods for the first few days, especially after laser filling and implant procedures.
- Healing period: Since some procedures may cause mild swelling and discomfort, it is important to temporarily avoid intense physical activity.
