Laser Dentistry

​​​​​​​Laser therapy is a relatively new innovation that is currently being used across a number of medical and cosmetic surgery fields including optometry, dermatology, pain management, and beauty therapy. Although laser therapy has been used in dentistry since 1994, it is only more recently that this innovative approach to dental treatment has really gained momentum.

Despite being approved by the FDA, there hasn't been any laser system that has received the American Dental Association’s (ADA’s) Seal of Acceptance as an alternative to mainstream treatment. However, many dentists are using laser therapy very successfully to treat a variety of dental issues.
 

Laser Dentistry

We use dental lasers in our practice for management of soft tissue lesions, gum recontouring, and crown lengthening. 

The use of this technology allows us to perform complex, multi visit procedures with the benefits of:
 

• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures.

• Damage to the surrounding tissue is minimal. Some procedures may not even require an anesthetic.

• Bleeding is minimized as the laser encourages blood clotting to take place.

• Wounds heal faster and tissue can be regenerated quickly. The risk of bacterial infection is also minimized as the laser helps to sterilize the area while it's being worked on.

Laser dental treatments are particularly popular among anxious or nervous patients since it is less invasive than more traditional methods and often much quieter and subtler. If you would like to consider having a dental procedure performed using laser therapy, please schedule a consultation where we can discuss your treatment desires.
