LASER DENTISTRY

Our Practice features Waterlase Dentistry™

For years, doctors have used lasers to care for their patients, such as with vision correction, removal of skin blemishes and in a number of surgical procedures. Waterlase Dentistry™ technology was developed specifically to treat gum and other soft tissue in the mouth safely and comfortably. With many procedures it’s possible to use less anesthetic, and in some cases, no anesthetic at all.

The Waterlase laser system combines laser energy and a spray of water in a patented technology called Hydrophotonics™. Our doctors use the special Waterlase fiberoptic instrument to aim the laser energy at precisely the areas to be treated.

Treatment of Soft Tissue
Because of its gentle action and coagulating capabilities, the Waterlase performs many procedures on the gums with little or no bleeding and less post-operative swelling:

Cosmetic Gum Contouring
Patients with "gummy" smiles that make front teeth appear irregular in size or shape are often ideal candidates for laser gum sculpting. Our doctors use Waterlase to reshape the gum line and improve natural smile appearance or to enhance cosmetic dentistry procedures.

Relief from Cold Sores and Fever Blisters
Waterlase Dentistry can provide immediate relief from painful cold sores and fever blisters.

Treatment of Periodontal Disease
Laser technology can be used to remove debris and bacteria between a patient’s teeth and gums that can cause periodontal disease. Waterlase Dentistry has been shown to reduce bacteria and may even help stimulate gum tissue growth.
