Surgery Doesn’t Have to Be Intimidating
There are incredible benefits to receiving dental implants, but the idea of surgery makes some people hesitate. While it’s true dental implants require surgery to be placed securely in your jaw, the procedure itself is incredibly safe and successful in up to 98% of cases.
Thankfully, laser dentistry can add more comfort to the surgery. Lasers bring numerous benefits to the dental implant process that can increase your chances of success and overall comfort. Learn how lasers can improve your experience with receiving dental implants.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry is utilized to aid in treating various procedures such as dental implant surgery. With this technology, Dr. Sayed and our expert Birmingham team can provide you with a pleasant experience during your visit to our office.
Our advanced technology eliminates the need for traditional tools such as scalpels and drills. Additionally, laser dentistry doesn’t require the use of chemicals or local anesthesia during your procedure.
Types of Laser Dentistry
There are generally two types of lasers used for different dental procedures — hard tissue and soft tissue lasers. During your initial consultation, Dr. Sayed will determine which type of laser is right for your case. This will depend on the type of procedure you’ll undergo as well as the state of your oral health.
- Hard Tissue Lasers: Used for procedures on the teeth, such as cavity treatment.
- Soft Tissue Lasers: Great for gum treatments and procedures that may affect the soft tissues of the mouth
The Benefits of Dental Laser Technology
There are many advantages to using dental lasers for implants instead of traditional tools. Some of these benefits for patients include:
- Increase in accuracy and precision
- Reduction in damage to surrounding tissue
- Less bleeding during and after treatment
- Lower risk of infection
- Stimulate tissue growth to improve recovery
With the experience of Dr. Sayed, dental lasers can work wonders for your dental implant surgery. Our office also offers IV sedation to make you feel even more comfortable during your treatment. After your oral surgery, your recovery can be aided by the right dental tools — especially lasers.

Is laser dental surgery painful?
Laser dentistry creates less injury in the mouth than traditional tools do, so it won’t hurt as much. With traditional tools, many patients require anesthesia for even small treatments. Lasers often eliminate the need for anesthesia due to how gentle and precise they are. After your surgery, the laser tools Dr. Sayed uses should promote quicker healing and result in less pain than dental implant surgery with traditional tools would.
Are dental lasers safe?
Dental lasers are completely safe and more accurate than traditional procedure methods. Unlike dental tools, less tissue is removed and your natural tooth structure is preserved.
Additionally, the focused light from the laser stimulates faster healing and can sterilize the area it’s used on. This lowers the chance of cross-contamination and you’ll be less likely to get an infection after your procedure.
How does laser dentistry work?
Laser strength is determined by its wavelength. While ordinary light bulbs and other light sources are made up of many different wavelengths, lasers only have one wavelength. Our technology creates a small beam of focused light that can be used as a tool to conduct your dental procedure, ensuring a more accurate and precise treatment.
Will my dental insurance cover the cost of dental implants?
Most insurance companies should cover a portion of the cost of dental implants. We highly recommend you speak to your insurance provider to get a deeper understanding of your coverage plan and the benefits they offer. We also provide affordable financing options so that you don’t delay receiving treatment.
