New but not new… Dental lasers have improved patient experience and treatment since the 1960’s.
Laser Dentistry
-
Older than You Think
Lasers have been used in dentistry since the 1960's. With continuous advancement and refinement, they provide versatile solutions for patient care.
-
Drill Anxiety
The sounds, pressure, and vibration of dental drills can be overwhelming. Removing these sensations has a significant effect on patient's experience of anxiety and fear.
-
Precision and Disinfection
Dental lasers precisely target and disinfect cavities using the difference in water content between cavities and healthy teeth. This advantage better preserves healthy tissue.
-
More with Less Anesthetics
The desensitizing effect of dental lasers reduces pain and the required amount of anesthetic, improving the patient’s satisfaction during and after treatment.
-
Improved Oral Surgery
For soft tissue treatments such as tongue tie revision and gum recontouring, laser dentistry is cleaner, has less chance of infection, and promotes faster healing than traditional methods.

Differing Strengths for Differing Needs
Dental lasers reduce pain and shorten recovery times for treatment of cold sore. They also allow better treatment of teeth with hypoplastic enamel and air/water hypersensitivity.
