Why Choose Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry presents numerous advantages over traditional methods, including precision, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. It’s indicated for a wide range of procedures, offering ease, efficiency, and specificity. Let’s explore the types of lasers commonly used in dental practice:
Carbon Dioxide Laser:
CO2 lasers swiftly remove soft tissue with minimal depth of penetration but may be bulky and expensive.
Neodymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser (Nd: YAG):
Highly absorbed by pigmented tissue, Nd: YAG lasers are effective for cutting and coagulating soft tissues, with good hemostasis.
Erbium Laser:
Erbium lasers, with their high affinity for hydroxyapatite, are ideal for dental hard tissues and can also be used for soft tissue procedures due to their water absorption.
Diode Laser:
Diode lasers are versatile, primarily absorbed by tissue pigment, and used for aesthetic procedures like gingival re-contouring and soft tissue surgeries.
How Does Laser Dentistry Work?
Laser light, consisting of a single wavelength, interacts with tissues through absorption, resulting in various effects like vaporization, protein denaturation, or carbonization. Chromophores in tissues, such as melanin and hemoglobin, absorb specific wavelengths, influencing the laser’s effectiveness. The selection of laser type depends on the target tissue and desired outcome.
Applications in Dentistry: Soft and Hard Tissue Procedures
Soft tissue applications include aesthetic procedures, crown lengthening, and frenectomies, while hard tissue procedures encompass cavity preparation and dental implant placement.
The Advantages of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers a myriad of advantages over traditional techniques, making it the preferred choice for patients seeking minimally invasive procedures with enhanced outcomes. Here are some key benefits of laser dentistry:
Accelerating Wound Healing:
Laser application stimulates fibroblast maturation and proliferation, contributing to higher tensile strengths in healed wounds. Our low-level laser treatment (LLLT) induces transformation in myofibroblasts, aiding in wound contraction and promoting healing. Positive outcomes have been observed in the treatment of lesions like recurrent aphthous stomatitis, as well as in pulpotomy procedures and the management of mucositis and oropharyngeal ulcerations in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.
Relief from Neuralgia and Ulcers:
Photostimulation with low-level laser energy provides pain relief and accelerates the healing process in conditions like post-herpetic neuralgia and aphthous ulcers. By targeting lesions during the prodromal stage, laser therapy can prevent the formation of painful vesicles and reduce recurrence rates, offering patients much-needed comfort and relief.
Combating Microbial Menace:
Our advanced laser technology enables photoactivated dye disinfection, effectively targeting and eliminating bacteria in complex biofilms like subgingival plaque. This technique, utilizing low-power visible red semiconductor diode lasers and tolonium chloride dye, has shown remarkable efficacy against a wide range of pathogens, including Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Pioneering Photodynamic Therapy:
At Pristine Smiles, we utilize photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of oral malignancies, triggering both necrosis and apoptosis in cancerous cells. PDT not only damages tumor cells but also activates the host immune response, promoting anti-tumor immunity and enhancing treatment outcomes.
Enhancing Aesthetics and Functionality:
From aesthetic gingival re-contouring to crown lengthening and exposure of unerupted teeth, our diode lasers offer precision and efficiency with minimal discomfort and bleeding. Laser-assisted frenectomies and the removal of inflamed or hypertrophic tissue are performed seamlessly, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Empowering Diagnostic Capabilities:
Beyond therapeutic applications, lasers play a crucial role in diagnostics, offering non-invasive imaging solutions for comprehensive oral assessments. Our 3D laser scanner provides detailed images of craniofacial structures, aiding in treatment planning and assessing treatment outcomes with unparalleled accuracy.

Versatility of Laser Dentistry at Pristine Smiles
Beyond the conventional applications, laser dentistry at Pristine Smiles offers a plethora of miscellaneous benefits, showcasing the remarkable versatility of this cutting-edge technology.
Pain Management and Nerve Regeneration:
Our low-level laser therapy (LLLT) not only provides analgesic effects by reducing the firing frequency of nociceptors but also aids in nerve repair and regeneration. By promoting neuronal maturation and reducing inflammatory mediators, LLLT facilitates the regeneration of damaged nerves, offering relief from post-surgical pain and promoting optimal healing.
Sinusitis Relief and Facial Growth Regulation:
While findings on the efficacy of laser therapy for sinusitis vary, studies have shown promising results in improving microcirculation, reducing edema, and minimizing relapses. Additionally, experimental studies have explored the use of diode lasers in regulating facial growth, highlighting their potential as a non-invasive alternative to conventional methods.
Stimulating Bone Formation and Tooth Movement:
Recent research has demonstrated the ability of low-energy laser irradiation to stimulate bone formation, both in vitro and in vivo. By enhancing the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), laser therapy accelerates tooth movement and promotes bone remodeling, offering exciting prospects for orthodontic treatments.
Ensuring Laser Safety:
At Pristine Smiles, safety is paramount in the use of dental lasers. Protective eyewear, specifically designed for the wavelength of the laser, is provided to all individuals present during the procedure, including patients and staff. Precautionary measures such as posting warning signs, minimizing reflective surfaces, and adhering to infection control protocols are rigorously followed to mitigate potential risks.
Medicolegal Considerations:
Conservative soft tissue surgeries performed with dental lasers are considered standard practice and are typically covered by professional liability insurance. Informed consent, including detailed information about the procedure and associated risks, is obtained from patients as part of the standard protocol. Our team undergoes regular training and adheres to industry regulations to ensure the safe and effective use of laser technology.
