Laser Dentistry
Since 2013, we have utilized Biolase Waterlase laser systems for hard and soft tissue surgery and cavity preparation in teeth. Laser procedures can often be done with reduced to no anesthesia needed for tooth preparation.
​
For surgeries involving the gums and other soft tissues, the laser cauterizes the blood vessels and nerve endings, resulting in near-painless healing and very little bleeding. This is especially advantageous in tooth extraction and implant placement.
​
The laser can also be used in treating periodontal disease as well as performing root canal therapy. In addition, we have an infrared laser that is extremely useful for joint inflammation and pain within musculature of the head and neck.
