What are some major benefits of laser treatment?

Comfort . Since laser light is used to perform the procedure, you'll feel more comfortable and relaxed in the chair without the sound of the drill. Also, you'll feel no pain from the drill's vibration or heat generation. During cavity preparation laser precisely and selectively removes decayed tissue, leaving healthy tooth structure intact.

Less Anesthesia . For many patients, the best part of laser dentistry may be- no more needles! For routine appointments or surgery, the need for anesthesia may be reduced or even eliminated, which is ideal for children. Further, you no longer have the numbness that comes with Novocain, so you can resume all activities immediately afterward.

Reduced Bleeding . Bleeding is minimized and the need for sutures all but eliminated. Laser also ensures sterilization of the treatment site. This is especially important for high-risk patients and seniors.

Short and Comfortable Healing . Post-operative pain, discomfort, and swelling are significantly reduced, as laser accuracy assures minimal trauma to nearby tissue, and faster overall recovery..

Laser Cosmetic Recountouring

This procedure most often accompanies placement of porcelain veneers. Laser gently corrects an uneven or "gummy smile". The procedure can be accomplished in as little as 30 minutes, with quick healing and no bleeding or sutures.

Lasers and periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection; lasers have been shown to kill the bacteria responsible for the periodontal infection. It "cleans" and debrides periodontal pockets and reduces inflammation by eliminating the bacteria with little or no post-operative pain.

Oral Lesion Treatment.

Laser Offers instant relief from canker sores, aphtous ulcers and herpatic lesions, reducing pain and post-op sensitivity.
