Laser dental treatments use a concentrated beam of light to perform a range of dental procedures with greater precision, less discomfort and faster healing than conventional methods. At Envy Smile near Kensal Green, we use dental laser technology to reduce reliance on drills, treat gum problems, assist root canal sterilisation and perform laser teeth whitening.
At Envy Smile
Laser dental treatments are carried out using a concentrated beam of light, which can be used to sterilise areas of infection in the mouth, reduce gummy smiles, replace the need for drilling to remove decayed parts of the teeth, and assist with tooth whitening.
The precision of laser technology means treatments can be performed with greater accuracy and significantly less collateral trauma to surrounding tissue — resulting in reduced bleeding, faster healing times, reduced need for anaesthesia in some cases, and a more comfortable overall experience for patients who are anxious about traditional dental instruments.
Book a ConsultationLasers can remove dead and decayed tissue from a tooth with no pain and little noise. This is particularly beneficial for patients with a phobia of the dentist's drill. The laser also sterilises the tooth before a filling is placed.
Excess gum tissue can make your gums very prominent or make your teeth look uneven. Laser treatment reduces gum tissue with exceptional precision while also helping prevent bleeding — giving a very even and accurate result.
When a tooth has a complex root canal system, lasers can aid the sterilisation process — reaching parts of the canal that are difficult to access with traditional instruments and improving the success rate of treatment.
Lasers can be used for tooth whitening — a special gel is applied to the teeth and the laser activates it. The procedure takes approximately one hour and results can last up to three years.

Reduced bleeding compared to traditional dental treatment
Some gum work does not require stitches — less invasive
Faster healing time following procedures
Anxious patients often feel more relaxed without drills or needles
Reduced risk of infection — the laser sterilises the treated area
Reduced discomfort and reduced need for anaesthesia in some procedures
Improves the success rate of treatments including root canals
Reduces healing time and infection risk. The precision and sterilising properties of laser light mean treated areas heal faster and with significantly reduced risk of post-procedure infection compared to conventional approaches.
Eliminates the fear factor. For patients anxious about the sound or sensation of drills or needles, laser dentistry offers a gentler alternative — reducing the fear and anxiety that prevents many people from seeking necessary treatment.
Reduces treatment time. Laser treatments — including tooth whitening — are often completed in a single, shorter appointment compared to conventional equivalents, with immediate results and minimal downtime.
