At our finest smile dental practice in Zurich, we use innovative technologies to provide you with first-class dental treatment. One extremely versatile, effective and gentle method that we use is laser dental treatment in Zurich.
The use of the dental laser supports various treatments and fulfills different functions. During oral surgery, it replaces the scalpel, ensures an operation without heavy bleeding and significantly accelerates the healing process. When treating periodontitis, gum pockets or inflamed tooth roots, the laser light has a germicidal effect. Laser treatment in Zurich is therefore also a promising treatment method for patients with dental anxiety.
Our dentists at finest smile are happy to be there for you personally to inform you about the advantages of laser dental treatment in Zurich and to show you how we can make your dental treatment gentler and less painful with the help of the laser.
Frequently asked questions about laser dental treatment in Zurich
What is laser dental treatment?
Laser dental treatment is basically a conventional dental treatment in which specific steps are carried out using a dental diode laser. The laser has the ability to replace conventional tools such as drills or scalpels or to be used in addition, for example to reduce germs.
Who is laser dental treatment in Zurich suitable for?
In many cases, laser dentistry can play a supporting role in various treatments. It is particularly suitable for patients who suffer from dental anxiety, as treatment can be carried out more gently, with less pain and often without annoying drilling noises. People who are sensitive to pain or suffer from a blood clotting disorder also benefit from low-pain, low-bleeding laser therapy.
Can periodontal disease be treated with a laser?
We often use laser dental treatment in Zurich to treat periodontitis. The dental laser can be used to gently remove inflamed tissue. The laser light also has a germicidal effect, which leads to an effective reduction in germs.
What needs to be considered after laser dental treatment?
Aftercare for laser dental treatment is usually similar to conventional dental treatment. Before the procedure, your dentist will explain to you exactly what you need to look out for after the treatment.
How much does laser dental treatment cost in Zurich?
The prices for laser dental treatment in Zurich vary depending on the diagnosis and type of treatment carried out. At our dental practice finest smile, you will receive a cost estimate before the start of treatment, which also includes laser therapy. In general, the costs can be somewhat higher (CHF 200 - 250) than for conventional dental treatment.
Are the results of laser dental treatment permanent?
Laser dentistry basically achieves the same results as conventional dental treatment. The effectiveness of dental treatment can often be increased due to the germ-killing and healing-promoting effect. Here too, the success of the treatment always depends on conscientious aftercare and dental care.
Are there any risks associated with laser dental treatment?
In laser dentistry, there are no special risks that go beyond the risks of conventional dental treatment. In Zurich, we use a state-of-the-art diode laser that is precisely calibrated for each treatment.
In which cases is laser dentistry suitable?
The possible applications of laser dental treatment in Zurich are extremely diverse, from caries-free treatment to oral surgery.
The dental laser can be used to remove diseased tissue, work less invasively or close blood vessels, among other things. The laser light also has a strong germicidal effect. This makes laser dentistry a valuable instrument for branched root canals, periodontitis treatment and the gentle treatment of intraoral soft tissue.
In procedures such as the removal of wisdom teeth, the dental laser is used to remove the tooth extremely precisely and gently. The surrounding tissue is subjected to minimal stress and bleeding and swelling are reduced. In addition, laser treatment in Zurich can be used to seal sensitive tooth necks or make low-pain corrections to the gums.
Dental lasers are also used for tooth bleaching. In laser bleaching, the bleaching agent is activated using laser beams, which leads to quick, gentle and long-lasting results.
What are the advantages of laser dental treatment in Zurich?
Laser dentistry offers a gentle therapy to make dental treatments less painful and with less bleeding. The dental diode laser protects the tissue and accelerates the healing process, while traditional instruments such as scalpels or drills are replaced.
Thanks to its germ-killing effect, the laser achieves lasting results for various conditions such as caries, periodontitis, periodontal pockets or inflamed tooth roots. The bacterial load is effectively reduced in the long term.
Laser dental treatment in Zurich is particularly attractive for anxious patients and people who are sensitive to pain. The treatment can often be carried out pain-free and without the classic drill, which also reduces post-operative discomfort.
How does a laser dental treatment in Zurich work?
Before starting treatment, the dentist will discuss with you whether laser dental treatment in Zurich can be used to support your case. The treatment is similar to conventional dental treatment.
In some cases, the laser can replace certain steps, such as gentle soft tissue correction, gum pocket treatment and as a substitute for a scalpel in the surgical removal of diseased tissue. In other cases, laser dental treatment is performed as a stand-alone procedure.
During the treatment you wear protective goggles and can enjoy the massage function of our treatment chair or watch Netflix.
After you have undergone laser dental treatment, any discomfort should subside quickly, as the dental laser reduces bleeding and accelerates tissue healing. Of course, thorough dental care and oral hygiene are still crucial to maintain the success of the treatment.
