We understand that visiting the dentist can be nerve-wracking for children. That’s why we utilise advanced laser technology to ensure your child has a comfortable and painless dental experience.
What is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses a concentrated beam of light to precisely and gently treat soft tissues in the mouth. Lasers have been used in dentistry since the 1990s, but the technology has greatly improved over the years. Lasers are now compact, highly accurate, and perfect for use on kids.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry for Children
Laser treatments offer many benefits compared to traditional dental methods:
- Virtually Painless – Lasers gently interact with tissue and don’t cause the vibration, pressure or heat that can lead to pain and discomfort.
- High Precision – The laser’s concentrated light beam means we can accurately target treatment to affected areas only. This results in faster healing and less damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- Minimally Invasive: Laser treatments are often less invasive than traditional methods, reducing discomfort and promoting quicker healing.
- Reduced Anxiety: The quieter and less invasive nature of laser procedures can help alleviate anxiety in children.
- Faster Healing: With minimal bleeding and trauma, laser treatments often lead to faster healing times.

Yes, lasers are extremely safe for paediatric dental care! The controlled precision of lasers allows your child’s dentist to safely treat more areas in less time. Kids experience less pain, recover faster, and generally have much more pleasant dental visits when we use our high-tech lasers.
