Imagine dentistry without the anesthetic injection. Without the traditional dental instruments making the familiar sounds. Many people feel anxious when they have to visit a dental office because of the discomfort they feel. Fortunately, these days there is another option for caries treatment, by means of dental lasers. Laser dentistry is used to treat cavities and saves most of the discomfort that people experience with standard procedures. Just imagine how the toothache disappears and the cavity is cured, without the familiar sounds of the standard equipment.
Dental laser treatment
Laser dentistry treats not only caries. It can be used for everything from canker sores and gum disease to complex bone and soft tissue surgery. Laser caries treatment is gentle, touch-free and pain-free. You don't have to fight a numbing shot, and we all know how kids and some "grown kids" react when they see the needle.
How does laser dentistry work?
Lasers affect cavities in teeth by invisible light beam (Light in Motion). Lasers are very precise – they do not damage the surrounding soft and hard tissues. They are the most gentle way to treat cavities, as not as much of the healthy tooth has to be removed as with standard equipment. Dental lasers hydrate the tooth throughout the procedure, thereby reducing discomfort even more.
Instead of needles and standard equipment, laser dentistry uses water, air and light to treat cavities. Totally serious! This is why the procedure is so well tolerated by patients and they prefer it to traditional treatment methods.
Is laser dentistry safe for children?
Yes! Lasers are safe and effective for treating tooth decay in both children and adults.
Laser dentistry can also be used to treat soft tissue – for example wisdom teeth or swollen gums. Another advantage of soft tissue laser treatment is that no sutures are needed as there are no incisions.
When can laser dental treatment be used?
Laser dentistry is a great innovative treatment alternative, but there are some limitations to its use. For example, laser treatment cannot be used on teeth with already placed fillings and caries in hard-to-reach places.
Laser dentistry requires a significant investment of time and money from dentists. In the first place is the financial cost – lasers must be purchased, and they are much more expensive than standard equipment. Next, the necessary time must be spent, training in the use of dental lasers. The availability of modern equipment often turns out to be an important factor when looking for a dentist to treat caries. Dentists and clinics that have invested in laser dentistry have a richer toolkit and provide their patients with a choice of treatment.
Treating tooth decay is understandably not the most pleasant thing for most people. However, laser dentistry can make this experience as painless as possible. No needles, no filing teeth, no worry written on the patient's face.

March 23, 2024Hello!
I am interested in laser treatment of caries.
I have several fallen cervical fillings.
I've always wanted anesthesia. It's very painful with the machine.
I read that no anesthesia is used for laser...
Is there really no pain?
I'm also interested in the price?
Thank you!

October 17, 2024Hello, we apologize for the late response. For some reason, your message was in the spam section and only now became visible. With laser treatment, the discomfort and the herb are much smaller. Come for a preventive examination, where we will determine your dental status. After that, a treatment and financial plan will be prepared for you. The examination is free if you have a health card and have not used your examination for the calendar year.

October 17, 2024Hello, we work with children of this age, and even younger :). If your child has not yet visited a dentist, we recommend that you make an appointment for a preventive examination. If you bring your child's health card, the examination is free, only a user fee is paid.

December 25, 2024Hello, I am writing to you about my 5-year-old daughter. We have a problem with one of the molars, because it turned out to be deep caries and, accordingly, a nerve. We cleaned the tooth, but that's it. She won't let us put medicine in because of the severe pain. Everywhere they recommend treatment under general anesthesia. I wanted to know if there is a way to deal with laser treatment?
