Dental Lasers

We are delighted to now be able to offer patients all the benefits of advanced laser technology for all your dental care needs.

Dental laser treatment offered at Didsbury Dental Practice is perfect for anxious patients who do not like the sound of the dentist’s drill and want to spend less time in the chair. Treatments carried out using lasers also require less anaesthetic and can often be completed without the need for any anaesthesia at all.

Lasers are designed to be used on both hard tissue, which is the tough tooth enamel, and soft tissue, which is the gums surrounding the teeth. Using laser technology we can gently reduce dental decay without the heat, vibration and pressure associated with a normal dental drill.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Laser Treatment?

• Lasers are hygienic and reduce the risk of infection
• Reduced need for anaesthetic
• Post-operative bleeding is reduced or eliminated
• Tissue damage is minimised with less bruising and discomfort
• Reduced pain and post-surgery swelling
• Greatly reduced healing times

Are Dental Lasers Safe?

Lasers are one of the safest and most advanced dental technologies available today and have been used to treat millions of patients. Lasers can, however, be harmful to eyes so the patient, dentist and any assistants will all wear special laser safety glasses when lasers are being used.
