Laser Dentistry
We've seen truly wonderful innovations in dental techniques and technologies over the last 20 years, but the most amazing of all might well be the use of lasers in a wide variety of procedures.
Laser Gum Therapy
We use the Nd:YAG laser technology, which provides the most patient-friendly, state-of-the-art periodontal (gum) treatment available. We use this laser to treat periodontal disease by eliminating infection and healing gum tissue.
The laser’s light energy practically eliminates disease-causing bacteria and diseased gum tissue responsible for the periodontal breakdown. Laser dentistry is highly efficient and effective. It's also virtually painless. And since gum disease is such a serious oral and systemic health problem, any advance in treatment is terrific news.
Laser Sculpting
Some teeth have excess gum tissue covering them, creating a "gummy smile" that makes the teeth appear short. With a procedure called crown lengthening, lasers can painlessly sculpt away excess tissue, revealing beautiful, healthy and well-proportioned teeth, thus liberating your naturally winning smile. Plus, the laser seals and heals as it sculpts, making recovery fast and easy.
