Laser dentistry at our practice in Longmont, Colorado, presents its category of treatment – with many benefits for all sorts of patients. For starters, while dental lasers have improved over time, laser-assisted dentistry is well established in our field. Medical applications for lasers came to prominence in the 1970s, with oral surgeons first embracing such technology in the following decade. Nowadays, dentists like Dr. Knechtel can select from a wide variety of laser systems. Depending on their features and capabilities, soft or hard tissue lasers are handpicked for specific applications and procedures. All lasers, however, are based mainly on the same principles; the laser emits a beam of light. The light generates energy, which in turn interacts with oral tissues.
