Laser Dentistry
The laser we use in laser dentistry at our practice are an alternative to the common handheld “drill” or old fashioned scalpel.
These lasers direct an invisible energy beam onto problem areas and allow us to efficiently treat problems in the gums.
Our special laser can work on both hard and soft tissue. Hard tissues are the teeth. A normal filling can be completed, virtually painless with less anesthetic in most cases. The laser can also be used on soft tissue or the gums. Lip-ties, tongue-ties, and access to a cavity on partially erupted tooth can be done more comfortably with a faster recoverin and little to no bleeding.
Soft Tissue Laser
Soft tissue lasers are used to safely remove soft tissue, such as excess gum tissue.
The soft tissue laser can also be employed to destroy bacteria in gum pockets, preventing infection and allowing the tissue to return to a healthy state. The soft tissue laser enables the dentist to treat our patients with extreme accuracy and eliminates the need for most stitches.
