Laser dental surgery represents a cutting-edge approach to dental care, offering precision, reduced discomfort, and faster healing times. At Balaji Dental Clinic, under the expert guidance of Dr. Parijat Pallav, laser dental surgery is utilized to enhance the effectiveness and comfort of various dental procedures, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients.
What is Laser Dental Surgery?
Laser dental surgery involves the use of specialized lasers to perform various dental procedures. Lasers can cut or vaporize tissue with high precision and control, minimizing damage to surrounding areas. This technology can be used for both hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) procedures.
Types of Dental Lasers
- Hard Tissue Lasers:Used for procedures involving teeth and bone.
Common applications include cavity detection, tooth preparation, and treating tooth sensitivity.
- Soft Tissue Lasers:Used for procedures involving gums and other soft tissues.
Common applications include gum reshaping, removing soft tissue lesions, and treating periodontal disease.
Benefits of Laser Dental Surgery
Laser dental surgery offers numerous advantages over traditional methods, making it an appealing option for both patients and dentists:
- Precision: Lasers allow for highly accurate targeting of affected areas, preserving more of the healthy tissue.
- Reduced Pain and Discomfort: The use of lasers often results in less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure, reducing the need for anesthesia.
- Minimized Bleeding and Swelling: Lasers promote blood clotting and reduce bleeding, leading to less swelling and faster recovery times.
- Decreased Risk of Infection: The high-energy beam sterilizes the area, minimizing the risk of bacterial infections.
- Faster Healing: Patients typically experience quicker healing and recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Less Need for Stitches: Many laser procedures do not require sutures, enhancing patient comfort and convenience.

Cavity Detection and Treatment
- Early Detection: Lasers can detect cavities at an early stage by measuring fluorescence in the teeth.
- Cavity Preparation: Lasers precisely remove decay without the need for drills, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
Gum Disease Treatment
- Scaling and Root Planing: Lasers are used to remove plaque and tartar from the root surfaces and below the gumline.
- Gum Reshaping: Laser surgery can reshape and contour the gums, reducing periodontal pockets and promoting gum health.
- Bacterial Reduction: Lasers effectively kill bacteria in periodontal pockets, enhancing the effectiveness of gum disease treatment.
Soft Tissue Procedures

- Gingivectomy: Excess gum tissue can be removed to improve gum health and aesthetics.
- Lesion Removal: Soft tissue lasers can remove benign lesions, such as fibromas or mucoceles, with minimal bleeding and discomfort.
Teeth Whitening: Lasers can activate whitening agents, accelerating the teeth whitening process and achieving better results in less time.
Root Canal Therapy: Lasers are used to disinfect the root canals, enhancing the effectiveness of the procedure and reducing the risk of reinfection.
TMJ Treatment: Low-level laser therapy can be used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
