Laser Dentistry
Lasers in dentistry allow for many dental procedures to be performed pain-free and with fewer appointments. All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. The surgical and dental procedures performed with dental lasers are minimally invasive and preferable to conventional surgery.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
