Here are some of the major benefits associated with laser dentistry:

1. Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
2. Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
3. Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
4. Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.
5. Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
6. Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
