Lasers are a highly versatile technology. They may be used in both hard and soft tissue treatments to provide more effective and comfortable care. Some of the treatments that our dentists may perform using a laser include:

• Treatment for gum disease, such as removing bacteria and infected oral tissues.
• Curing, or hardening, a dental filling.
• Removing decay or tooth damage.
• Treating cold and canker sores.
• Enhancing a teeth whitening treatment.
• Recontouring the gumline.
• Performing oral surgery procedures.
• Detecting cavities or other developing problems.
• And more!

There are many benefits to using laser dentistry over traditional treatment methods. Using a dental laser will help:

• Reduce overall treatment time.
• Reduce healing time after a procedure.
• Decrease the risk of infection following treatment.
• Minimize any bleeding during and after treatment.
• Ensure a precise treatment by targeting only the treatment area and not any nearby oral tissue.
• Provide a more comfortable treatment. Depending on the procedure, you may not even need an anesthetic.
