Lasers have been used in medicine since the early 1960s for gentle, non-invasive treatments. Recently, laser technology has also gained increasing importance in dentistry. This technique is mainly applied in surgical procedures, periodontology, and laser-assisted implantation.
A laser is a focused beam of light that enables us to cut soft tissue, such as the gums, with exceptional precision, painlessly, and with minimal bleeding. In many procedures and treatment methods, the laser has already replaced the traditional scalpel, allowing for minimally invasive surgery with significantly faster healing times.
After laser implantation, there is usually little to no swelling or pain. Patients can return to their daily routine immediately after treatment, and stitches are not needed because the laser not only cuts but also "seals" the tissue. The high-energy laser light also destroys bacteria, reducing the risk of infection during the procedure and ensuring it is nearly 100% germ-free.
