Laser cavity treatment
The laser beam 'vaporises' decayed tissue without touching the tooth — a non-contact procedure, usually with no anaesthesia and no pain.
Laser cavity treatment is the modern alternative to the classic drill. The laser beam acts selectively on decayed tissue, vaporising it with no vibration, no excessive heat and no direct contact with the tooth.
Why treat cavities with the laser?
- Pain-free — in most cases no anaesthesia is needed
- No drill, no vibration, none of the anxiety-inducing noise
- Simultaneous sterilisation: the laser decontaminates the cavity, reducing the risk of secondary decay
- More healthy tooth structure is preserved than with the classic method
- Faster healing and better adhesion of the filling
How does it work?
- Intraoral camera consultation and cavity mapping
- Selective vaporisation of decayed tissue with the dental laser
- Cavity decontamination
- Placement of a non-toxic, highly biocompatible filling
Suitable for adults and children alike — ideal for patients with dental anxiety.
