Our team is well-equipped to treat gum disease thoroughly and comfortably, even in advanced cases. We treat mild, moderate and severe gum disease using a combination of state-of-the-art techniques, including gentle ultrasonic scaling for deep cleaning and minimally invasive laser therapy to remove diseased tissue and disinfect the gums. Our doctors emphasize patient education in their approach to treating gum disease.

What Does Laser Dentistry Do? 

If you hate the sounds and vibration of a drill, lasers help eliminate that problem. Lasers are a less invasive method for treating issues such as:

Removing tissue around an exposed wisdom tooth

Reshaping the tissue around the gums

Removing and reshaping bone and gum tissue during crown lengthening procedures 

Removing inflamed gum tissue

Removing muscle attachments that restrict tongue or lip movement

Accelerating in-office tooth whitening procedures 

Reducing the discomfort from cold sores and canker sores

Removing small amounts of tooth enamel 

Preparing tooth enamel for composite bondings

Repairing certain worn-down fillings 

How Do I Know if I Need Laser Dentistry?

The following are hallmark signs that you may need laser dentistry or should consider asking your dentist if laser dentistry would be right for your next procedure: 

If you are have dental anxiety and need to get dental procedures done

If you are someone who does not do well with pain

If you do not do well with needles for an injection 

Is Anesthesia Given Before Laser Dentistry?

Anesthesia is not given prior to laser dentistry. While some people may feel a little anxious about having a procedure done without anesthesia, it is actually much safer. This is because there is no chance of overdosing on the anesthesia or having an allergic reaction to it.
