What is Biolase?

Biolase is a type of dental cleaning that uses laser technology to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. Biolase is a brand of dental laser that is commonly used for this type of cleaning.

During a Biolase treatment, the dentist or dental hygienist uses a small, handheld laser device to target and remove plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and gums. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that effectively removes the buildup without the need for scraping or scaling. The laser also helps to kill bacteria and promote healing of the gums.

Biolase is typically more comfortable than traditional cleaning methods as it is less invasive and does not involve the use of metal instruments that can cause discomfort. Additionally, the laser technology can help reduce bleeding and swelling during the cleaning process.

Biolase is often used as part of a comprehensive dental cleaning and is particularly useful for patients with sensitive teeth or gums, or those who are prone to gum disease.
