The Diode Laser is one of the most helpful tools in our dental equipment arsenal; this device emits a concentrated beam of light that works wonders on cutting through soft tissue. Did you know that the word LASER is an acronym that stands for Laser Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation?
Your dentist can use a diode laser for various operations such as gum contouring, the surgical removal of gum tissue (or gingivectomy), the treatment of aphthous ulcers, to take a tissue sample for biopsy purposes, to treat abscesses, to expose implants and many more operations.
The benefits of Diode Lasers include increased comfort and recovery, cost-effectiveness (due to less time on the dentist’s chair), and overall more satisfying and healthy smiles.
