Precision with light
With innovative laser technology, the dental specialists at F80 can provide gentle, minimally invasive treatment even in areas that conventional instruments can barely reach. The laser uses high-energy light aimed precisely at the treatment site, where short light pulses are converted into heat. Different wavelengths allow gums, teeth and bone to be cut, removed, smoothed or stimulated precisely, with considerably less pressure and vibration; heat is generated and must be controlled, as with conventional drills. This helps preserve healthy tissue. The heat also seals blood vessels, reducing bleeding and swelling. At the same time, the laser sterilises and cools the treated surface, lowering the risk of infection. Wounds can heal faster and post-treatment discomfort occurs less often.
Laser treatment for periodontitis
Periodontitis can cause painful symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath and loose teeth, as well as considerable anxiety about treatment. People with advanced periodontitis in particular often wonder whether therapy will be lengthy, unpleasant or stressful. Our modern EmunDo laser therapy offers a gentle and effective option designed to ease these concerns while achieving the best possible result.
EmunDo is a biocompatible dye applied to the teeth and periodontal pockets to make harmful bacteria visible. This allows our dentists to position the laser precisely, disinfect the pockets thoroughly and remove inflamed tissue completely. Around 99.9 per cent of bacteria are destroyed without damaging the tooth roots. After successful therapy, pocket depths may decrease during healing.
Because the dental laser works without contact or incisions, it protects the surrounding tissue. Pain, bleeding and swelling are significantly reduced, and antibiotics are often unnecessary after treatment. As no iodine is used, this method of treating periodontitis is also suitable for many people with allergies. In many cases, local anaesthesia can be avoided, making treatment more comfortable. Eating and drinking are possible again immediately after the procedure.
Our laser therapy for periodontitis is particularly suitable for patients with advanced disease and offers a modern, gentle alternative to conventional periodontal methods, supporting a healthy smile without pain or lengthy downtime. Book an appointment with your dentist to learn more about periodontitis treatment.
Lasers in oral surgery
We also use lasers selectively in oral surgery. When removing tissue such as cysts or benign tumours in the mouth, the laser lets us work minimally invasively and, depending on the procedure, use fewer scalpels and sutures. This can significantly shorten operating time. Simultaneous sealing of blood vessels keeps bleeding to a minimum.
Our practice also uses lasers to expose teeth for orthodontic treatment. Impacted teeth, tooth and root remnants can be removed precisely, bone fragments retrieved and sharp bone edges smoothed gently. Lasers are also useful for surgical gum correction, such as removing excess tissue in a gingivectomy: they preserve tissue and make swelling less likely.
Laser treatment for peri-implantitis
In rare cases, the mucosa and bone around an implant can become inflamed after a dental restoration is implanted. This may cause bleeding gums, swelling, redness or pain. The condition is called peri-implantitis. It is caused by bacteria settling in pockets around the restoration and attacking the tissue and jawbone. At F80, we use modern laser technology to treat inflamed tissue around dental implants effectively and gently, targeting bacteria and inflamed tissue.
If necessary, our specialists expose the implant surgically; incisions, pain and changes to soft tissue remain possible even when a laser is used. Bone and mucosa may heal faster. Healthy tissue can surround the implant and restoration again, helping maintain implant stability.
Other applications
Curious to learn more? Modern laser technology offers many further possibilities for gentle, pain-free dental treatment. Your dentist at F80 will be pleased to advise you about the following options:
Our laser technology removes decayed areas of teeth with particular precision and under sterile conditions, without using a drill. This avoids the unpleasant vibration and noise many people associate with tooth decay treatment. Laser treatment can be a calmer, less stressful alternative to conventional treatment, particularly for children and anxious patients.
Lasers have long been standard equipment at F80 for root canal treatment. We use them to disinfect the canals of an inflamed root canal system thoroughly and prepare them for subsequent treatment. The laser reaches bacteria in deep, difficult areas where conventional instruments often reach their limits. This supports thorough disinfection and improves the prospects of successful root canal treatment.
The laser is also a valuable partner in teeth whitening. Its high-energy light intensifies and accelerates the action of the bleaching agent, producing a bright, even result in less time. The treatment is also controlled and gentle, helping to protect your teeth as effectively as possible.
Benefits
Laser treatment at F80 offers a range of benefits that conventional methods often cannot provide. Discover how using a laser can make treatment more comfortable, effective and safe:
The laser reaches areas of the mouth that are difficult or impossible to access with conventional instruments. Even deep or angled areas of a tooth can therefore be treated precisely without affecting healthy tissue.
Whether for tooth decay, root canal treatment, surgery or whitening, the laser offers many benefits and can be used flexibly.
Laser treatment targets diseased tissue so that healthy tissue is preserved as far as possible.
Laser therapy works without contact, avoiding pain and unpleasant vibration. Often, little or no anaesthetic is required.
The laser seals blood vessels during treatment, significantly reducing bleeding and making aftercare easier.
Laser light effectively eliminates bacteria and germs. This supports healing and may reduce the need for antibiotics; their use is decided medically in each individual case.
The sterile, precise application of the laser helps tissue regenerate faster and makes complications less frequent.
There is none of the unpleasant noise or vibration associated with conventional drills, making laser treatment quieter and more comfortable.
The laser is precise enough to create clean, smooth incisions, supporting discreet healing and aesthetic results.
Treated areas regenerate quickly, although temporary restrictions may apply depending on the procedure and anaesthetic.
The low-stress, low-pain treatment makes the dental laser an excellent option for sensitive patients.
Types of laser
Not every laser is the same. Your dentist selects different laser types according to the treatment goal, ensuring that each procedure is tailored as closely as possible to your needs. F80 uses the following lasers:
Hard-tissue lasers are designed in dentistry for treating hard structures such as teeth and bone. Their high-energy light pulses make it possible to remove tooth decay precisely without damaging healthy tooth structure. F80 dentists also use hard-tissue lasers in surgery, for example to remove tooth roots or contour bone.
Diode and CO₂ lasers are mainly used to treat soft tissue such as gums and mucosa. They are well suited to treating inflammation such as gingivitis, disinfecting root canals and removing excess gum tissue. They are particularly useful for periodontitis and peri-implantitis because they remove inflamed tissue precisely without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Risks
Laser treatment at F80 gives you access to one of dentistry's safest methods. This gentle alternative to conventional treatment is possible for nearly all patients. However, a dental laser is not suitable for every procedure, including large fillings or very deep areas of tooth decay. Its use is also limited when metal implants are close to the treatment site. We will be pleased to discuss whether a laser is the best option for your treatment.
Costs
The cost of laser treatment depends on its type and scope, including how many teeth are treated and which procedures are required. As laser treatment is generally not a statutory health insurance benefit, statutory insurers usually do not cover it. In special cases, such as urgent procedures, reimbursement may be available to pregnant or breastfeeding patients. For clarity, your dentist will prepare an individual cost estimate before each treatment. This shows what to expect and provides transparent billing. Please speak to us for detailed advice about the costs and options of laser therapy.
Treatment duration
The duration of laser treatment depends on its type and scope. Minor procedures such as removing tooth decay often take less than 30 minutes, while root canal treatment or surgery requires more time. In many cases, one appointment is sufficient because the laser works precisely and efficiently. More complex care, such as periodontitis therapy, may require several sessions to achieve the best possible result. Our dental specialists agree the number of appointments with you individually so that your time commitment is kept as low as possible while providing the best possible treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Laser dentistry uses high-energy, tightly focused light aimed precisely at the treatment site. When it reaches tissue, the light pulses are converted into heat. Depending on the application, this can cut, remove, sterilise or stimulate tissue. Our dentists can remove diseased tissue or kill bacteria without contact, unpleasant vibration or pressure.
Different types of laser allow treatment to be tailored to the individual concern: hard tissue such as teeth and bone is treated with a different laser from soft tissue such as gums. This precise technology supports low-pain, gentle and effective care for minor procedures and more complex therapy. At F80 Berlin, we use lasers for tooth decay, root canals, periodontitis and jaw surgery, among other applications. Laser treatment may complement periodontal care, supporting dental health by treating gum disease and providing a stable basis for implants and restorations.
Yes. Laser dentistry is extremely safe when performed by experienced dentists. The precise technology targets diseased tissue without affecting the healthy tissue around it. The laser can also reduce the number of germs at the treatment site, considerably lowering the risk of infection. F80 Berlin dentists advise you individually and confirm that a laser is suitable for your treatment.
Laser treatment of the teeth is generally virtually pain-free and most patients find it comfortable. Because the laser works precisely, there is none of the unpleasant vibration or pressure caused by a conventional drill. In many cases, an anaesthetic is not required. A dental laser preserves healthy tissue, reduces bleeding and minimises swelling, making the procedure gentler overall. Precise, effective methods such as laser treatment are particularly important in periodontics, which treats periodontitis. If you are sensitive, F80 dentists will be pleased to discuss individual ways to keep you comfortable.
Yes. Laser treatment is especially suitable for anxious patients and children. It is virtually silent and avoids the vibration and pressure that often cause discomfort with conventional drills. This creates a calm, welcoming setting in which everyone can relax. Many patients appreciate the low-stress, comfortable experience. Dental laser therapy is also low-pain in many cases, so an anaesthetic is often unnecessary, a major advantage for children and people with dental anxiety.
Statutory health insurers generally do not cover dental laser treatment because it is classified as a modern but not essential additional service. Depending on the policy, private health or supplementary dental insurance may cover all or part of the cost. Reimbursement therefore depends on your insurance contract.
To avoid surprises, we provide an individual estimate in advance for you to submit to your insurer. This shows the expected cost and whether reimbursement may be available. We will be pleased to advise you.
Laser whitening is a gentle method that does not harm the teeth when performed correctly. A bleaching agent is applied to the teeth, and the dental laser activates it selectively and effectively within a short time, reducing stress on the teeth. Whitening must be performed by experienced dentists to protect the enamel and avoid gum irritation. Before treatment, F80 dentists examine your teeth and gums to make sure laser whitening is suitable for you, so you can enjoy a bright smile with confidence.
