Low Level Laser Therapy
Modern dentistry utilizes low-level lasers in tissue healing acceleration, pain alleviation, reducing inflammation and physiotherapy in the orofacial region. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non toxic, non invasive and provides instant relief and reduces healing duration by 30-40% and is very safe if applied by a trained practitioner.
Laser is an effective tool to increase comfort of dental treatment both on the chair and post operatively. It also increases efficiency and specificity of work.
