Advanced Technology
What is laser dentistry?
In many cases, lasers eliminate the need for drills, anesthesia and reduce post-procedure discomfort & healing times. Lasers may be used in procedures such as root canals, gum disease treatment, cavity detection, tooth whitening and to set and harden restorative materials, such as crowns.
Your Comfort, Our Priority
What is the laser dentistry procedure like?
Laser dentistry eliminates many of the common complaints of traditional dentistry. A laser device replaces the rotary tool & can be used for everything from surgery to tooth bleaching. The only addition to the procedure is the requirement of protective glasses to shield the eyes from the laser beam. A laser doesn’t make any noise & doesn’t require physical contact with your teeth. Water isn’t usually needed, but air suction is used to keep the treated area cool.
