What are some of the conditions that laser dentistry can be used for?

• Gummy Smile – Lasers can be used to improve the appearance of your smile, by helping to reshape your gum line and remove excess gum tissue to show more of your teeth (also known as a gingivectomy). Gum recontouring can be completed in a single visit and can complement most of our cosmetic dentistry services to achieve the best aesthetic result.
• Crown lengthening – Where excess gum tissue is reduced or removed to expose more of the tooth. This is usually done in conjunction with another dental procedure (ie. making a dental crown or cap).
• Sensitive teeth – Dental lasers can help seal tubules in tooth roots to reduce the tooth’s sensitivity to hot and cold food and drinks.
• Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) – Low-level lasers can help reduce pain and inflammation in the temporomandibular joint and surrounding tissues.
