We enhance the dental experience for our Carina clients with laser dentistry. Laser dentistry is a modern approach that makes dental treatments faster, more precise, and far more comfortable than traditional methods. With laser dentistry, you can achieve a brighter smile with less pain, less recovery time, and better results.
Laser dentistry is exactly what it sounds like; it uses focused light energy to perform dental procedures. This technology is an advanced alternative to traditional dental tools like drills, offering a gentler approach to treatments. Lasers allow our dentists to target specific areas with incredible precision, preserving healthy tissue and reducing the need for invasive procedures. Our team is trained in the use of laser technology to make sure you’re receiving the best care with the utmost comfort.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry at Carina Plaza Dental
Laser dentistry isn’t just about precision; it comes with a range of benefits that make it important in the world of dental care:
- Less Bleeding: Lasers help seal blood vessels during soft tissue treatments. This minimises bleeding and swelling.
- Reduced Need for Anaesthesia: Some laser procedures don’t require local anaesthesia, or they require much less. So, there are fewer needles involved.
- Faster Healing: Laser treatments promote quicker healing times and fewer complications. This means you can get back to your normal routine faster.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Lasers sterilise the treatment area as they work. This significantly reduces the risk of infection.
- Precision and Accuracy: Lasers are incredibly precise. This means they target only the necessary areas, leaving the healthy tissue intact.
- No Stitches Required: Many soft tissue procedures using lasers eliminate the need for stitches. So, when you choose laser dentistry, you can expect faster and easier recovery.
Common Laser Dentistry Procedures at Carina Plaza Dental
Laser technology can be used for various dental treatments, making it versatile and effective. Here are some of the most common procedures we perform using lasers:
Gum Disease Treatment :
If you have a gum disease, lasers can clear out infected gum tissue while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This minimally invasive method speeds up healing and reduces discomfort.
Soft Tissue Treatments :
Lasers are perfect for soft tissue treatments such as gum reshaping, removing oral lesions, and treating overgrown tissue. The precision of the laser makes these procedures less invasive than traditional methods.
Tooth Decay Removal :
Laser dentistry can also be used to treat cavities by removing decayed tissue. This method preserves more of your natural tooth structure, which is a huge advantage over traditional drilling.
Laser Teeth Whitening :
For a brighter smile, you can choose laser-assisted teeth whitening, which can get you noticeable results quickly. The laser activates the whitening gel, accelerating the bleaching process for a whiter, brighter smile in just one visit.
What to Expect During Laser Dentistry
Consultation:
Your first step is a consultation with one of our laser dentists. We’ll go over your dental needs and determine if laser treatment is ideal for you.

Minimal Discomfort:
You may feel slight tenderness, but it’s usually manageable and short-lived.
