Laser Dentistry

Our 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 or periodontal surgery 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. We use a diode laser to correct soft tissue or gum problems such as:

• 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.

WaterLase is a gentle process that uses laser energized water droplets for both general dental and cosmetic dental procedures including:

• Gummy smiles
• Cavity preparation
• Root canals

WaterLase procedures heal rapidly, and the process itself thoroughly sterilizes the treated area allowing for fast recovery.
