Laser Dentistry in Ajax, ON
Advanced laser dentistry allows Dr. Patel Dentistry to perform precise, minimally invasive treatments, often with less pain, faster healing, and no need for anaesthesia.
Understanding Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry uses focused beams of light energy to perform dental procedures with greater precision and less trauma than traditional tools. Dental lasers are used for soft tissue procedures including gum reshaping, treating gum disease, removing tissue growths, and eliminating bacteria from infected periodontal pockets.
Lasers minimize bleeding, reduce post procedure swelling, lower infection risk, and often eliminate the need for anaesthesia in soft tissue work. Recovery times are typically shorter, making laser treatment a more comfortable option for many patients.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
- Less bleeding during and after treatment

Laser Dentistry FAQ
Is laser dentistry painful?
Laser dentistry is typically less painful than traditional methods, and many soft tissue procedures require little to no anaesthesia, since the laser itself minimizes discomfort.
What procedures can be done with a dental laser?
Dental lasers are commonly used for gum reshaping, treating gum disease, removing tissue growths, and reducing bacteria in infected periodontal pockets, among other soft tissue procedures.
Is laser dentistry safe?
Yes. Laser dentistry is a well established, safe technique that has been used in dentistry for years, offering precision with reduced bleeding and lower infection risk compared to traditional tools.
Does insurance cover laser dentistry?
