What are the benefits of digital and laser dentistry?
Some of the benefits associated with digital and laser dentistry include:
- Gum disease treatment
- Orthodontics planning
- Improved tooth restorations
- Plaque and tartar reduction
- Gum reshaping

- Tooth decay treatment
- Less tooth sensitivity
- Whiter, brighter teeth
With laser dentistry, no drills are needed. You probably won’t need stitches, and bleeding is minimal. You might not even need anesthesia for certain laser procedures.
Treatment areas heal faster due to less damage to surrounding tissues, and you have a lower risk of bacterial infections.
Is digital and laser dentistry right for me?
To find out if you’re a good candidate for digital and laser dentistry, Dr. E and his team review your symptoms, discuss your oral health history, and examine your teeth and gums. They might also take dental X-rays.
