Can lasers replace traditional drills to remove dental decay?

Lasers offer a variety of benefits that a traditional drill can’t offer. For one, laser treatment can remove decay without always requiring local anesthesia.

Absolutely. Lasers are a very versatile instrument that can be used for multiple dental treatments.

After the gel is applied to the teeth the laser is then directed at your teeth to whiten your smile.
