Issues Corrected Through Laser Dentistry

Our laser surgery dentists utilize several types of lasers to treat a number of problems. Some patients are seeking cold sore or ulcer treatment, while others seek cosmetic procedures. In any case, our doctors will work closely with you to ensure the most advanced treatment possible is made available to meet your needs.

  • Crown lengthening
  • Implant surgery
  • Soft tissue folds caused by dentures

The diode laser is ideal for these procedures because it requires virtually no healing time, and causes very minimal discomfort. A diode laser can also be used to treat muscle attachments or frenum that can cause difficulty breastfeeding in babies, and speech impediments in young children.

The diode laser is ideal to contour soft tissue, treat infection and for procedures to correct gummy smiles.

  • Gummy smiles
  • Cavity preparation
  • Root canals

For periodontal, or gum disease, we can use both PerioLase and LANAP technology, as a nonsurgical procedure to remove debris and dead tissue from the gums.This means no cutting with a scalpel, which allows the gums to stay ‘intact’ and actually produces a new attachment of the gums. The use of lasers in treating gum disease has been proven to:

  • Reduce bleeding
  • Reduce swelling
  • Speed recovery times
  • Entirely eliminate bacteria and inflammation in the gums

Laser gum surgery is safe for people with health conditions that may not otherwise be able to receive treatment, and the use of lasers significantly reduces the recurrence of disease within the gums.
