Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is a revolutionary and precise dental procedure developed to take care of our day-to-day dental needs. The principle form of energy for a laser 
is light energy. The laser makes use of this light energy for varied dental procedures like cutting or vaporizing a tissue, filling up a tooth cavity, and related surgeries of gums or other oral tissues. Indications: Laser dentistry is becoming increasingly important for good oral health and hygiene. Its uses include elimination of tooth decay and canker sores (lesions in the mouth), biopsy (removal of tissue for examination of cancer), and teeth whitening. Contraindications: Lasers cannot be used for maintaining oral health in cases that include large cavities or for any cavity resting between teeth. In case of fillings, lasers cannot be used next to old fillings or on teeth with fillings already in place.
Our Procedure:
Laser dentistry is considered more as a conservative (non-surgical) method of cavity preparation, which reduces the need for anesthesia. Laser dentistry stands out as a “No drill” surgery and therefore, it is in demand in the patient community. Also, in procedures where stitches are required, the number of stitches is considerably reduced when compared with the traditional drill surgery. Post-operative care: Post-operative care instructions following a laser surgery are easy to understand and simple to follow.
Key post-operative care instructions include:
• Using a soft brush and avoiding hard, vigorous brushing
• Going for non-spicy, non-grainy, easy to chew foods
• Using mild analgesics for any kind of oral discomfort
• Mild rinsing, preferably light swishing in the initial days following treatment

Various methods of teeth whitening
As mentioned above, there are many methods of teeth whitening; here we will be discussing two major in-office methods offered by Al Bahri:
Laser teeth whitening
During the process of laser teeth whitening in Abu Dhabi, a specific laser is used to whiten your teeth. Your dentist will first apply a tooth-whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a specialized laser made just for teeth whitening.
Advantages
- It is a very quick process; your teeth will be several shades lighter in a matter of minutes.
- It is non-invasive in nature; it is more gentle and safer; and it is performed under expert supervision.
- It is a highly effective method.
Disadvantage
- It exposes you to infrared emissions, though at a low level.
- The excessive heat emitted by the laser causes discomfort in some patients and can lead to gum inflammation and nerve damage.
- Due to its small size, the device can only cover a small portion of your tooth at a time.
Zoom teeth whitening
This process is closely related to laser whitening in Abu Dhabi, other than a few minor differences.
Our dentist will cover your gums and lips at the start of the procedure. The Zoom! hydrogen peroxide gel will then be applied to your teeth. We leave the gel in place for 15 minutes before turning on the Zoom! chairside lamp on low heat. The light shines on all of your teeth at once, yielding faster results.
Advantages
- It is a fast process; only a 45-minute session can give excellent results.
- It decreases the level of heat that your teeth are subjected to by filtering out infrared emissions.
Home whitening Kits
