One of the advanced technologies our dentists may use to provide your treatments is a dental laser. Lasers are designed to provide you with the most precise, comfortable and effective care possible, and can be used in a wide range of different treatments.
When Is Laser Dentistry Used?
Dr. Kevin Wolf and Dr. Larry Osborne may use laser dentistry to:
- Provide periodontal treatments to fight gum disease, including removing infected tissue and targeting disease-causing bacteria
- Cure, or harden, dental fillings
- Remove decayed or damaged tooth structure
- Treat cold and canker sores
- Speed up teeth whitening by activating the whitening gel used in treatment
- Recontour your gum line or expose teeth with excessive gum tissue attached to them
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers many benefits, including:
- A more comfortable overall treatment – in some cases, anesthetic might not even be needed
- Reduced treatment time
- Quicker healing and recovery following treatment
- Decreased risk of infection following treatment
- Minimized bleeding during and after your procedure
- A highly precise treatment, focusing on the targeted area without impacting nearby tissue
