What Happens During a Laser Treatment?

Lasers provide for easier processes compared to traditional dental treatment methods. Patients who are anxious about the treatment are provided a sedative to reduce the stress and discomfort regarding the procedure. The patient is then seated on the dental chair. 

The laser can be used for either hard tissue or soft tissue procedures. The laser device is directed towards the area to be treated and the light is emitted to treat it. The time required for the laser treatment depends on the dental condition of the patient. It is more efficient than traditional treatments and provides better outcomes to the patient and requires fewer dental appointments.
