Question 1

How long does it take for gums to heal after laser treatments?

Accepted Answer

Healing time depends on the treatment and your overall oral health. For many soft tissue procedures, the area may start to settle within 1 to 2 days, with healing often progressing over one to two weeks. Our Dentist at Singapore Dental Implant Centre will share what to expect based on your procedure.

Question 2

Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

Many patients find laser-supported treatments more comfortable than expected, but experiences vary. Some procedures may need little to no anaesthesia, while others still require numbing depending on the area treated and your sensitivity. If discomfort is expected, your dentist will discuss pain management options beforehand.

Question 3

How long does one procedure take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the complexity and the area being treated. Simple soft tissue treatments may take 15 to 30 minutes, while more involved procedures may take longer. Your dentist at Singapore Dental Implant Centre will estimate the timing during consultation.

Question 4

How should I prepare for a laser dental appointment?

Accepted Answer

Usually, no special preparation is needed. Continue your usual oral hygiene routine and have a light meal unless advised otherwise. If you are taking blood thinners or have medical conditions, let the clinic know in advance so your dentist can plan safely.

Question 5

Is laser dentistry suitable for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Laser dentistry can support a wide range of dental care, but suitability depends on your diagnosis, the type of procedure, and clinical judgement. Your dentist will assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate approach, which may or may not include laser treatment.

Question 6

Are there any risks or side effects with laser dental treatment?

Accepted Answer

Laser dentistry is carefully controlled and widely used in modern dentistry, but all procedures carry some risks. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as tenderness or sensitivity, depending on the treatment. Your dentist at Singapore Dental Implant Centre will explain potential risks and alternatives so you can make an informed choice.

Question 7

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Some treatments can be completed in one visit, while others may require multiple sessions or follow-up care. Your dentist at Singapore Dental Implant Centre will outline the expected number of visits after assessing your condition.

Question 8

What should I expect after laser dentistry?

Accepted Answer

Aftercare depends on what was done. You may be advised to avoid very hot, spicy, or hard foods for a short period and to keep the area clean. Your dentist may also recommend gentle rinsing and a follow-up visit where needed.

Dental lasers treat with high precision, helping to preserve healthy tissues while targeting only the affected area.

Greater comfort

For many patients, there is generally less discomfort with the use of dental lasers depending on the procedure and clinical needs.
