Laser Dentistry

Do you hate the dental drill? If so, you’re not alone. Truth is, many people are concerned about the sensations associated with the dental drill such as vibrations or heat. At justSMILE in Ramsgate and Woollahra, we use laser technology so your treatment can go by without vibrations or drilling noises.

Laser Dentistry: The Gentle Alternative to the Dental Drill

Keep reading to learn how Laser Dentistry is a perfect option for those who are anxious when visiting the dentist.

Laser dentistry offers patients an option that is minimally invasive, has reduced recovery time and allows us to deliver care with precision.

The dental lasers Dr. Rammo uses at justSMILE can gently perform numerous soft tissue procedures with little or no bleeding.

They can also prepare your teeth in a way that removes the bacteria and decay while maximising the bond of tooth coloured fillings, allowing them to last longer.

Heat and vibration are the main causes of discomfort associated with dental drills.

Since laser treatment does not transmit heat or vibrate, and the laser handpiece does not actually touch your tooth or gum, many dental procedures can be performed without anaesthesia.

The Benefits of Lasers Over a Dental Drill:

Laser dentistry offers increased comfort, precision results, and decreased healing time.

Additional benefits over a dental drill include:

  • Reduced treatment time
  • Fewer visits to the dentist
  • No high pitched drilling noise
  • Protection against tooth decay
  • Treatment is more comfortable
  • Generally no numbing required
  • Less damage to tooth’s structure

Not only are lasers able to offer a more comfortable alternative to the dental drill, they can also help with a variety of soft tissue problems. Book a Free Consltation with Dr Rammo today for more information on dental lasers

How Laser Dentistry Differs from Regular Dentistry

Common Uses of Laser Dentistry

Our DELight Versa Wave® Dental Laser is utilised to its full potential by providing treatments such as:
triangle
Periodontal Disease:
Periodontal disease is a serious gum disease that if left untreated can lead to tooth loss. Recent studies have shown a link between periodontal disease and heart disease, and so it is important to receive proper treatment of gum disease – should it develop. Lasers are used by our dentists to eradicate bacteria that have developed in the gum pockets, and promote healing. This modern treatment offers reduced healing time and increased patient comfort over traditional treatment methods.

Root Canal Treatment:

Root canal treatment can save your natural teeth from extraction. Using a dental laser, we can gain access to the root canals and remove the diseased tissue The shaping and cleaning aspects of the root canal treatment can also be completed using laser technology. Many patients who are treated with laser technology experience less post-operative discomfort and swelling. After treatment, your tooth may be sealed and further re-enforced with a dental crown.


Fillings:

Lasers have transformed the way we can treat tooth decay. Cavity preparation and decay removal can be accomplished with our dental laser. The laser has the ability to remove decay within a tooth and prepare the surrounding enamel for bonded fillings. The need for anaesthesia is greatly reduced or eliminated over traditional methods.


Gum Contouring:

“Gummy smiles” can also be treated easily with laser dentistry. Laser gum contouring is a virtually pain-free treatment that uses a soft tissue diode laser to remove excess gum tissue. The laser reseals the soft tissue of the mouth, creating a bloodless procedure that heals within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laser Dentistry

Why use lasers?

Lasers compared to drills are softer on the tooth because there is no vibration. They are gentler, generally quieter and they leave behind a clean site because they literally kill the bacteria that cause the decay while removing the decay.“

What are the benefits of Laser Dentistry vs. the Dental Drill?

Laser dentistry offers increased comfort, precision results, and decreased healing time.  It also…

  • Clears away decay
  • Can contour the gums
  • No vibrations or drill sounds
  • Kills & removes bacteria simultaneously
  • Less of an impact on the tooth
  • Very gentle for the patient
How do they use lasers for root canal treatment?

Some lasers can be used to create an incision in tissue. We use lasers for some surgical procedures as they enable a bloodless incision that is more comfortable for the patient during and after surgery. We will always provide anaesthetic for our more invasive procedures, ask us about this today.

Do lasers hurt?
Most of our patients remain completely comfortable during their laser dentistry appointments. We also provide our patients with products to decrease the smell which is a result of the laser dentistry procedure. Your comfort is our priority which is why we offer anaesthetic to our patients undergoing laser or dental surgery.
How can I fix my gummy smile?

When too much gum is revealed, it creates an imbalance in the proportions of a beautiful smile. At justSMILE located in South Sydney, our principal dentist Dr Rammo can utilise dentofacial aesthetics and laser dentistry to correct a gummy smile.

Gummy smiles are caused by two factors:

  • Excess gum tissue
  • Overactive muscles controlling the upper lip

Excess gum tissue can be treated with laser dentistry

Laser gum contouring is a virtually pain-free treatment that uses a soft tissue diode laser to remove excess gum tissue. In this procedure the laser reseals the soft tissue of the mouth, creating a bloodless procedure that heals within a few days.

Overactive upper lip muscles can be treated with injectable muscle relaxants

During this treatment, a muscle relaxant is injected into the overactive muscles, reducing the elevation of the upper lip and creating a beautiful, more symmetrical smile. This is a virtually painless procedure that can be undertaken in around 10 minutes, and patients can return to normal activity immediately. Results are typically seen after a week or two.

How do lasers help with gum disease?
Lasers can be used to eradicate bad bacteria which causes gum disease and gum inflammation. If negative bacteria is left untreated periodontal pockets can form which can result in severe decay, tooth rotting and gum disease which is irreversible. Lasers are also used in the management of periodontitis in order to decrease symptoms and decrease the risk of tooth loss.
