Lasers of many different wavelengths are available to support a multitude of procedures. Examples: cosmetic gingivectomies, fibroma removal, troughing for C&B procedures and as well as simple operative restorations, uncovering of Implants, removal of benign lesions (Leukoplakic, Lican Planis), hard tissue removal and support of periodontal therapies.
With virtual technologies being used on regular basis, clean dry tissue is a must in order give your lab an accurate representation of your prep.
Costs can vary according to the type of laser that u get. Again, it is essential to understand laser science in order to purchase the correct laser for your individual practice.
