Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Ottawa, Kanata and Stittsville, Ontario
Versatile. Precise. Fast. Safe. Comfortable. These are just a few of the benefits of laser dentistry.
The Ottawa dentists at Dentistry at Main and Villanova Dental Studio have additional training and experience in the field of laser dentistry, and employ state-of-the-art lasers in a broad spectrum of general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Laser Dentistry Procedures
Some dental lasers are used in the diagnosis of conditions such as tooth decay; others are used in common general dentistry treatments; others provide superior control and accuracy during oral surgeries. Laser dentistry has proven effective in a variety of procedures including:
- Cavity treatment
- Cold sore and mouth lesion removal
- Gum recontouring
- Laser-assisted periodontal therapy
- Plaque removal
- Smile makeovers
- Teeth cleaning
- Various surgical procedures
While laser dentistry can be used in procedures that enhance both the attractiveness and functionality of your teeth, the advantages of laser dentistry extend beyond its versatility.
Laser Dentistry Advantages
Laser dentistry offers numerous benefits over many traditional dental treatments and surgical procedures. The advantages of laser dentistry include:
- Eliminates the need for anesthesia in some surgeries

Although laser dentistry is safe and effective for a range of procedures, it is not for every condition and every patient. A consultation with one of our Ottawa dentists can determine if laser dentistry is right for you.
