About the treatment
Laser dentistry uses focused beams of light energy to perform a wide range of dental procedures with extraordinary precision and minimal discomfort. The word LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and in dentistry, different wavelengths of laser light interact with specific tissues, allowing dentists to treat твърда тъкан (емайл, дентин, bone) and мека тъкан (gums, mucosa) with accuracy measured in fractions of a millimetre. There are several types of dental lasers, each suited to different applications. Diode lasers are commonly used for мека тъкан procedures like gum contouring, frenectomy, and treatment of mouth ulcers. Erbium lasers can remove зъбен кариес and prepare cavities without the vibration and noise of a traditional drill. Nd:YAG lasers are effective for periodontal pocket disinfection and избелване на зъби activation. В BestDent, we select the appropriate laser technology based on your specific treatment needs. The advantages of laser treatment are substantial and clinically proven. Because lasers cauterise as they cut, there is dramatically less bleeding during мека тъкан procedures. The precision of the beam means less healthy tissue is affected, resulting in less post-operative swelling and pain. Many laser procedures require little or no anaesthesia, which is a significant benefit for patients with стоматологична тревожност or needle phobia. Healing times are typically 50 to 75 percent faster than with conventional techniques. Laser dentistry is not a replacement for all traditional dental instruments, but it is a powerful complement that makes many procedures more comfortable and predictable. Международни пациенти visiting BestDent in Istanbul often appreciate that laser-assisted treatments involve less downtime, allowing them to enjoy their trip sooner after treatment.

Keep your teeth healthy
Your dentist evaluates your condition and determines whether laser treatment is the optimal approach. Not every procedure benefits from laser use, and an honest assessment ensures you receive the most effective treatment. The specific laser type and wavelength are selected based on whether твърда тъкан, мека тъкан, or both are involved.

Процес на Лечение
Initial Assessment and Treatment Selection
Your dentist evaluates your condition and determines whether laser treatment is the optimal approach. Not every procedure benefits from laser use, and an honest assessment ensures you receive the most effective treatment. The specific laser type and wavelength are selected based on whether твърда тъкан, мека тъкан, or both are involved.
Safety Preparation
Specialised wavelength-specific protective eyewear is provided for you, the dentist, and all staff in лечението room. The treatment area is prepared, and if any anaesthesia is needed (often it is not), it is administered at this stage. The laser equipment is calibrated to the precise settings required for your procedure.
Laser Application
The laser handpiece is directed at the target tissue with precise movements. For мека тъкан procedures, you may feel a slight warming sensation but rarely any pain. For твърда тъкан work, the laser removes decay or shapes the tooth with a popping sensation and water spray, without the pressure and vibration of a conventional drill. The dentist works methodically across лечението area.
Real-Time Assessment
Throughout процедурата, the dentist assesses tissue response and adjusts laser parameters as needed. The precision of laser treatment allows for real-time decision-making about how much tissue to remove, ensuring the most conservative approach possible. Some lasers have built-in fluorescence detection to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue.
Wound Management (Soft Tissue Procedures)
For gum and мека тъкан procedures, the laser seals кръвоносни съдове and nerve endings as it works, meaning most sites require no sutures. A thin layer of coagulated tissue forms naturally over лечението area, acting as a biological bandage. This is one of the key reasons laser wounds heal so much faster than conventional surgical wounds.
Restoration (Hard Tissue Procedures)
If the laser was used for cavity preparation, the tooth is restored with composite filling material using standard bonding and layering techniques. Some research suggests that laser-prepared емайл achieves improved bonding strength compared to drill-prepared surfaces, potentially increasing the longevity of the restoration.
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
You receive specific aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure. Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort and can return to normal activities immediately. Soft tissue healing is typically visible within 48 to 72 hours, with complete healing in one to two weeks, roughly half the time of conventional surgery.
Често Задавани Въпроси
Is laser dentistry safe?
Yes, dental lasers have been approved by regulatory authorities including the FDA and have been used safely in dentistry for over 25 years. When operated by a trained professional with proper safety protocols, including protective eyewear, laser treatment is extremely safe with an excellent track record.
Does laser treatment hurt?
Most laser procedures cause significantly less discomfort than their conventional equivalents. Many мека тъкан procedures can be performed with no anaesthesia at all. Patients typically describe a mild warming sensation rather than pain. This is one of the primary reasons patients with стоматологична тревожност prefer laser treatment.
Which dental procedures can be performed with a laser?
Lasers are used for заболяване на венците treatment, gum contouring and reshaping, frenectomy, cavity preparation, mouth ulcer treatment, cold sore treatment, избелване на зъби, tooth desensitisation, biopsy, fibroma removal, and disinfection during лечение на коренови канали. The range of applications continues to expand as laser technology advances.
Can laser treatment replace the dental drill completely?
In many situations, yes, particularly for small to moderate cavities and мека тъкан work. However, lasers cannot yet remove old metal fillings, prepare teeth for crowns, or handle all types of твърда тъкан work. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate technology for each specific procedure.
How much faster is healing with laser treatment?
Healing after laser procedures is typically 50 to 75 percent faster than after conventional surgery. For example, a gum procedure that might take two to three weeks to heal conventionally may heal in just one to two weeks with laser treatment. The reduced inflammation and sealed wound edges accelerate the body's natural healing process.
Is laser treatment suitable for children?
Yes, laser dentistry is particularly beneficial for children because it reduces the need for needles and the intimidating sound of the drill. Small cavities can often be treated with a laser and no anaesthesia, making the experience much less stressful. Soft tissue lasers are also used for детски frenectomy procedures.
Can laser treatment help with заболяване на венците?
Laser-assisted periodontal therapy is one of the most well-established applications of dental lasers. The laser selectively removes diseased tissue from gum pockets while disinfecting the area and stimulating healthy tissue regeneration. Studies show improved healing and reduced pocket depths compared to conventional scaling alone.
Does laser treatment leave scars on the gums?
Laser treatment produces significantly less scarring than conventional surgery because it causes less trauma to surrounding tissue and promotes more organised healing. For cosmetic gum procedures, this is a major advantage, as the healed tissue looks natural and smooth with minimal to no visible scarring.
How long does a laser dental procedure take?
Most laser procedures are faster than their conventional equivalents. A мека тъкан treatment like a frenectomy takes just a few minutes. Cavity preparation with a laser is comparable in time to drilling. The real time saving often comes from reduced anaesthesia needs and the elimination of suturing.
Can I have laser treatment if I am on blood thinners?
Laser treatment is actually an excellent option for patients on anticoagulant medication. The laser's ability to cauterise tissue and seal кръвоносни съдове as it works means significantly less bleeding during and after процедурата, often eliminating the need to adjust your medication before treatment.
