In our dental practice at Löwenplatz we rely on the most modern technologies in order to be able to offer you dental treatment at the highest level. A particularly versatile, highly effective and at the same time gentle method is laser dental treatment. Lasers have been also successfully used in other medical fields over decades.

The dental laser can be used to support various treatments and fulfill a variety of tasks. In oral surgical procedures, it replaces the scalpel, ensures minimal bleeding and accelerates the healing process. Laser light has a germicidal effect in the treatment of periodontitis, gum pockets or inflamed tooth roots. Carious areas can be removed painlessly and without a drill. This makes laser dental treatment an attractive form of therapy, even for anxious patients.

Your dentists at Löwenplatz in Zurich will be happy to advise you on laser dentistry and how we can make your dental treatment with the laser gentler and less painful.

Frequently asked questions about laser dental treatment

What is laser dental treatment?

In principle, laser dental treatment is a completely normal dental treatment in which we carry out individual work steps with a dental diode laser. The laser can replace traditional instruments such as drills or scalpels, but can also be used as a supplement, for example to reduce germs.

For whom is laser dental treatment useful?

Laser dentistry can be used to support many treatments. It is particularly suitable for anxious patients, as the treatment is gentler, less painful and can often be carried out without the noise of a drill. Pain-sensitive patients and people with a blood clotting disorder also benefit from the low-pain and low-bleeding laser treatment.

When it comes to soft tissue corrections or disinfection of gum pockets and root canals, laser has strong benefits in comparison to traditional treatment methods.

Can periodontal diseases (periodontitis) be treated with a laser?

We often use laser dental treatment in Zurich to treat Periodontitis. Inflamed tissue can be gently removed with the dental laser. In addition, the laser light has a germicidal effect, so that effective germ reduction is achieved.

Does laser tooth treatment work against Caries?

Laser dentistry is well suited to treating caries. The dental laser allows us to detect and treat carious areas even in hard-to-reach areas. Carious areas can be precisely removed with the laser, with maximum protection of the tooth structure.

Are there any particular risks associated with laser dentistry?

Laser dentistry does not involve any special risks that go beyond the risks of conventional dental treatment. In Zurich, we work with a state-of-the-art diode laser that is precisely adjusted for each treatment. Continuous water cooling reduces the heat generated during treatment.

What should I look out for after laser dental treatment?

Aftercare following laser dental treatment is generally no different from conventional dental treatment. Your dentist will explain to you before your treatment exactly what to look out for afterwards.

Are the results of laser treatment permanent?

Laser dentistry basically achieves the same results as traditional dental treatment. The effectiveness of dental treatment can often be improved due to the germ-killing and healing-promoting effect. Here too, the success of treatment always depends on careful aftercare and dental hygiene.

How much does laser dental treatment cost?

The cost of laser dental treatment depends on the findings and the treatment carried out. At our dental practice in Zurich, we will provide you with a cost estimate before your treatment, which will also include the laser treatment. Adding laser treatments to your treatment plan will result in an additional cost of CHF 200-400 depending on the amount of teeth or soft tissue areas treated.

For which indications is laser dentistry suitable?

Laser dentistry offers a wide range of applications, from caries treatment without drills to oral surgery.

The dental laser can be used to remove diseased tissue and carious areas or to obliterate blood vessels. The laser light also has a high germicidal effect. This makes laser dentistry a valuable tool for root canal treatment, Periodontitis treatment and the treatment of gum pockets.

For procedures such as wisdom tooth surgery, we use the dental laser to remove the tooth very precisely and gently. The surrounding tissue is spared as much as possible and bleeding and swelling are reduced. Laser dental treatment can also be used to seal sensitive tooth necks or to make low-pain corrections to the Gums.

Dental lasers are also used in tooth whitening. In laser Bleaching, the bleaching agent is activated by laser irradiation. In this way, we achieve particularly fast, gentle and long-lasting results.

What are the advantages of laser dental treatment?

Laser dentistry is a particularly gentle form of therapy that allows us to carry out your dental treatment with less pain and less bleeding in many cases. The dental diode laser works with absolute precision and can replace traditional instruments such as scalpels or drills, while at the same time protecting the tissue and accelerating the healing process.

Thanks to its high germicidal effect, it has a very lasting effect on diseases such as Caries, Periodontitis, gum pockets or inflamed Tooth roots. The bacterial load is reduced effectively and for a long time.

Laser dental treatment in Zurich is particularly attractive for anxious patients and people who are sensitive to pain. In many cases, we are able to perform the treatment pain-free and without a traditional drill. Post-operative discomfort is also reduced.

Laser dental treatment procedure

Before your treatment, your dentist will discuss with you whether and how laser dentistry can be used to support your case. The treatment is basically very similar to conventional dental treatment.

Depending on the type of treatment, the laser can replace individual steps, such as caries treatment with a drill or the surgical removal of diseased tissue with a scalpel and soft tissue corrections in general. In other cases, we carry out laser dental treatment in Zurich as a separate treatment.

You will be fitted with protective goggles for the duration of the treatment. Continuous water cooling prevents the tissue from heating up too much during the treatment.

After your laser dental treatment, any initial discomfort should subside quickly, as the dental laser reduces bleeding and accelerates wound healing. Careful dental care and Oral hygiene are of course still important to maintain the success of the treatment.
