Most treatments still use local anesthesia. You may feel a cool water spray or warmth and hear a popping sound. Your dentist tells you beforehand what to expect and checks how you feel during treatment, and you can ask to pause at any time.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-2\"><h3>Is laser treatment safe?<\/h3><p>Dental lasers are widely used when the correct safety steps are followed. Everyone in the room wears protective glasses, and the water spray keeps the tooth and tissue cool. Like any treatment it has risks, which your dentist explains before asking for your consent.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-3\"><h3>Laser gum treatment or deep cleaning \u2014 which do I need?<\/h3><p>They are not alternatives. Laser gum treatment is used alongside conventional deep cleaning when your dentist finds it suitable, and deep pockets or advanced gum disease may still need gum surgery. Your dentist explains which approach fits your gums.<\/p><div class=\"nxs\"><a class=\"nx\" href=\"\/periodontics\/\">Gum treatment<svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M13 6l6 6-6 6\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-4\"><h3>Can the laser fill a cavity without a drill?<\/h3><p>In suitable cases, the laser can remove decay and prepare the cavity instead of a drill, and the tooth is then filled as usual. Whether it suits your tooth depends on the size and position of the cavity and on any existing filling; metal fillings still need the drill.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-5\"><h3>Can the laser remove my old veneers?<\/h3><p>In suitable cases, yes. The laser can help release veneers and some all-ceramic crowns, which may then come off in one piece, before new ones are made. The fee is per tooth, and your dentist checks the material first to see whether laser removal suits it.<\/p><div class=\"nxs\"><a class=\"nx\" href=\"\/dental-veneers\/\">Veneers<svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M13 6l6 6-6 6\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-6\"><h3>Can the laser release a tongue-tie?<\/h3><p>Yes, in suitable cases, for both children and adults. Your dentist first checks whether the tongue-tie actually limits movement or causes problems, because not every tongue-tie needs treatment.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-7\"><h3>Will I heal faster after laser treatment?<\/h3><p>Healing depends on the procedure, your health and how you care for the area afterward. We do not promise faster healing with the laser. Your dentist explains what to expect for your treatment.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-8\"><h3>How much does laser treatment cost?<\/h3><p>Most laser items are an additional fee on top of the main treatment, and a few, such as laser gum contouring and laser removal of veneers or crowns, have their own price per tooth.
