Laser
Dentistry.
Advanced Dental Technology
Precision Healing.
Less Discomfort.
Laser dentistry employs specialised lasers that emit concentrated beams of light energy. These lasers can remove tissue with exceptional precision, stimulate healing and tissue regeneration, and sterilise the treatment area — minimising the risk of infection.
At Smiles at Southgate, laser technology allows us to perform a wide range of procedures with greater precision and often less discomfort than traditional methods — because we believe dentistry should feel as good as the results look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does laser dentistry hurt?
Laser procedures typically cause less discomfort than traditional methods and often require less anaesthesia. Most patients find the experience significantly more comfortable.
How does laser treatment heal faster?
The laser sterilises the treatment area as it works and causes minimal trauma to surrounding tissue, allowing your body to heal more quickly with less inflammation.
Is laser dentistry safe?
Yes. Dental lasers are FDA-cleared and have been used safely for decades. We provide protective eyewear and follow strict safety protocols throughout every procedure.
Is laser dentistry covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the procedure and your plan. Laser gum disease treatment may be covered; cosmetic laser procedures typically are not. We help you understand your benefits.
