Dental lasers have transformed what is possible in modern dentistry. For many procedures, laser treatment means more conservative tissue management, and in many cases reduced bleeding and post-operative discomfort compared with conventional techniques.
Dr Pohl holds a Mastership in Laser Therapy in Dentistry from RWTH Aachen University (Germany) — one of the most rigorous advanced qualifications in the field. He applies advanced laser techniques across periodontal, endodontic and surgical applications, with a focus on precision and patient comfort.
Applications of laser dentistry
Periodontal (gum) treatment
Laser therapy can be used in the management of gum disease as an alternative or adjunct to conventional scaling and surgery — targeting infected tissue while preserving healthy gum.
Endodontic (root canal) treatment
Lasers can effectively disinfect root canals, reaching areas that conventional instruments cannot, improving the success rate of treatment.
Surgical applications
Soft-tissue procedures — from frenectomies to crown lengthening — can be performed with greater precision, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery.
Patients from across the Eastern Cape — Mthatha, Gqeberha, Komani, King William's Town — access laser dentistry at mastership level in Beacon Bay.
