Le laser dentaire est un appareil émettant une lumière très puissante, concentrée et monochromatique, c'est-à-dire d'une couleur unique (correspondant à une longueur d'onde précise). Selon l'appareil utilisé, les longueurs d'ondes de cette lumière vont du visible à l'infrarouge (lumière invisible).

Il existe plusieurs types de laser qui interviendront dans différents traitements comme les soins dentaires, la parodontologie, la chirurgie dentaire ou encore l'implantologie.
