Dental Lasers
What Dental Laser
A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy. When laser light
comes in contact with tissue, it can remove or shape tissue.
Lasers can be used as a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of dental procedures and are
often used in conjunction with other dental instruments.
