Laser dentistry

The advances in laser technology allow for a wide range of procedures to be performed more quickly, painlessly and heal more quickly than conventional treatments. After a laser procedure, the treated area remains sterilised and sealed which allows for the healing process to commence undisturbed by bacteria. Dr. Kaufman is a trained in the use of lasers and is using an AMD laser to help people who suffer from gum disease, sore spots in their mouth, sensitive teeth and in need of removing muscle attachments and fibromas. There are some of the major benefits associated with the use of this laser:

  • The procedures performed may not require sutures (stitches).
  • Certain procedures do not require anaesthesia.
  • The use of the laser minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clot formation.
  • Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
  • Wounds heal faster.
