Laser Dentistry

The new era of lasers in dentistry has caused a paradigm shift to painless dentistry. Lasers are beneficial in many ways with lesser anxiety, no drills, more comfort and are patient friendly than the traditional dental techniques. An amplified high energy light source replaces the dental drill and scalpel which patients have feared for many years.

Lasers are one of the most powerful leading edge technologies that can be used in a variety of dental diagnostic and treatment procedures to improve quality and precision treatments affording quality dental care to the patients. The inception of a separate laser clinic at VDC equipped with various wavelengths of dental lasers offers wide range of clinical procedures ranging from soft and hard tissue procedures involving all the specialties in dentistry, diagnostic and supportive care for cancer patients.

Laser clinic is equipped with various Diode lasers (450nm, 650nm, 940nm, 810nm, 980nm) and all tissue laser (FOTONA LightWalker-AT-S with Nd:YAG- 1064nm, Er:YAG- 2940nm) designed for ultimate versatility, with the most comprehensive lists of clinical applications in all laser-assisted treatments. With the choice of different complementary wavelengths (in terms of their effect on tissues) available facilitate newer combo coherence treatment provisions for research & quality dental care for patient.
