Painless Dentistry with Lasers
At Dr. Dilip Dental Centre, we use advanced dental lasers to provide our patients with painless treatments. Lasers are a minimally invasive way to perform a variety of dental procedures, including:
- Implant surgeries
- Removal of tooth decay
- Gum lightening
- Biopsies
- Disinfection during root canal therapy
- Speeding up the healing of mouth ulcers
Lasers have several advantages over traditional dental instruments. They are more precise, which means that they can be used to remove decay and tissue with greater accuracy. This can help to reduce the amount of pain and discomfort that patients experience during treatment.
Lasers also produce less heat than traditional instruments, which can help to prevent damage to the surrounding tissues. This is especially important in areas where the bone is close to the surface, such as the gums.
In addition, lasers create a very clean wound, which helps to promote healing. This means that patients can often return to their normal activities sooner after treatment.
If you are looking for a painless and effective way to improve your oral health, laser dentistry may be a good option for you. Contact Dr. Dilip Dental Centre today to learn more about how lasers can help you achieve your dental goals.
What is the advantage of using dental lasers?
- Dental lasers use amplified light to focus a beam of concentrated energy on the area that is being worked on. This allows for more precise removal of decay and tissue, which can help to reduce the amount of pain and discomfort that patients experience during treatment.

Will it bleed during or after the procedure?
- Due to how a dental laser operates, there is minimal to no bleeding during the procedure. This is another major advantage of the laser as it allows the Dr. Dilip Dental Centre team to work more efficiently.
- However, some bleeding may occur after the procedure, especially if the area was affected by gum disease. This is normal and should stop within a few days.

Will it be painful during or after the procedure?
- All laser procedures are done under local anesthesia at Dr. Dilip Dental Centre. You will not feel any pain at all during the procedure. A mild “raw” feeling of the gums may be felt after the local anesthesia wears off for a day or two.
What are the precautions to be taken after the procedure?
- Dental laser procedures result in little or no discomfort following surgery. Take the prescribed pain medications according to instructions, if needed. Avoid chewing food in the areas of the mouth where the laser has been used for a few days. The Dr. Dilip Dental Centre team will be able to give you more specific instructions on this after the procedure.
Do I need anaesthesia for the procedure?
- Yes, even though the discomfort may be mild when using the laser without anesthesia, the Dr. Dilip Dental Centre team strongly prefers to use anesthesia during a laser procedure. This is to ensure that you are comfortable and that the procedure can be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
How long does it take to heal?
- Procedures done with a laser usually heal very fast. Depending on the location and extent of the procedure, the healing time can be anywhere from 1-3 days.
