Has fear of painful dental procedures stopped you from seeking treatment? 50% of Americans admit that it has. What if your next visit to the dentist could be pain free? New procedures in laser dentistry enhance precision while minimizing pain and recovery time.

Our team is always looking for ways to give you the best of dental care. By constantly adding to our skills and knowledge we are able to use the latest cutting-edge technologies. Laser dentistry is currently being used in approximately only 5% of dental offices, but its use is becoming more widespread. Why? What are the advantages of laser dentistry?

• It’s Gentle

• It’s Painless

• Bacterial infections are neutralized

• Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized

• Wounds heal faster and tissue can be regenerated

At this time our office is using lasers in two areas of treatment:

• Gum contouring-A laser is used to reshape gum tissue, exposing healthy tooth surface and improving the aesthetics of the smile

• Periodontal disease-A laser is used to remove bacteria in periodontal pockets and helps to restore healthy tissue.

Our patients have been very happy with the results of these treatments and we’ve been very excited to bring these advanced techniques to our community. If you are looking for caring,quality dental care please call our office for a consultation. We look forward to working with you for your dental health.
