In dentistry, lasers have become increasingly popular for various procedures due to their precision, efficiency, and ability to minimize discomfort for patients. Biolase produces dental laser systems that can be used for a wide range of applications, including:

2. Hard tissue procedures: Lasers can be used for cavity preparation, removal of tooth decay, and even for procedures like root canal treatment. 
3. Cosmetic procedures: Lasers can help with teeth whitening, reshaping of the gum line, and other cosmetic enhancements.
