Laser Dentistry
Dental procedures involving lasers might sound like something from science fiction, but for a growing number of dentists, it is today’s reality. Laser dentistry is providing safer, more comfortable dental treatment for millions of patients.
Lasers give us more precision and control, and in many cases no shots or drills are needed. Laser dentistry can eliminate the need for anesthesia, excessive bleeding and stitches after surgery, as well as reducing tissue damage, risk of infection, and length of recovery time.
With Laser Dentistry:
- Cold sores heal quickly and painlessly
- Gums are reshaped without cutting
- Cavities are found without all the poking and prodding and are filled without anesthesia and drilling
- Benign tumors can be removed from the mouth area without stitches
- Teeth whitening can be performed in record time
- Sensitivity to hot/cold sensations can be eliminated
- Root canals are completely laser sterilized to prevent retreatment
While laser dentistry cannot be practiced on replacing crowns or onlays, there are dozens of applications for this new technology. Depending on the type of dental procedure you need, we’ll be able to discuss whether laser technology is right for your situation.
