Recovery and healing times are shorter.

Gum disease. Lasers are used to reshape gums and remove bacteria during root canal procedures.

Biopsy or lesion removal. Lasers can be used to remove a small piece of tissue (called a biopsy) so that it can be examined for cancer. Lasers are also used to remove lesions in the mouth and relieve the pain of canker sores.

Teeth whitening. Lasers are used to speed up in-office teeth whitening procedures. A peroxide bleaching solution, applied to the tooth surface, is "activated" by laser energy, which speeds up of the whitening process.

Compared to the traditional dental drill, lasers:

May cause less pain in some instances, so reduces the need for anesthesia

May reduce anxiety in patients uncomfortable with the use of the dental drill

Minimize bleeding and swelling during soft tissue treatments

May preserve more healthy tooth during cavity removal
