Laser Dentistry
Modern, Minimally Invasive Dental Care with Precision and Comfort
Laser Dentistry
At Lithgow Dental and Implant Centre, we are proud to offer laser dentistry — an advanced, gentle alternative to many traditional dental procedures. Using state-of-the-art dental lasers, we can treat a variety of conditions with greater precision, less discomfort, and faster healing times.
Whether you’re dealing with gum issues, tooth sensitivity, or looking for a more comfortable experience overall, laser dentistry provides a modern solution with exceptional results.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform a wide range of dental procedures on both hard (teeth) and soft (gums) tissues. The laser allows for highly accurate treatment that reduces the need for drills, scalpels, or sutures — often eliminating the need for anesthesia.
Common Laser Treatments We Offer
Gum Contouring / Gum Reshaping
Gently reshape uneven gum lines for a more symmetrical, attractive smile — often part of a cosmetic smile makeover.
Canker and Cold Sore Relief
with mouth ulcers and
cold sores.
Treatment for Tooth Sensitivity
Seal exposed dentine and reduce painful reactions to cold, hot, or sweet foods with laser desensitisation.
Gum Disease Treatment (Periodontitis)
Remove infected tissue and bacteria below the gum line with minimal discomfort. Laser treatment promotes healing and regeneration of healthy tissue.
Frenectomy (Tongue- or Lip-Tie Treatment)
improving speech, feeding, or orthodontic outcomes.
