Laser Dentistry

~ Sujin and Thomas

Dental lasers have now been in our industry for many decades. They serve many purposes; contouring bone of gum tissue, treating tooth structure, and even curing the cements that we use to deliver our restorations with.

We have both hard and soft tissue lasers, which means we can treat tooth structure or gum tissue when we need to. The appeal of the hard tissue laser is that we can treat tooth structure without having to numb you. Generally this can only happen if you don’t already have a filling within that tooth. This essentially limits its uses to young adults who are getting their very first cavities, which is the exact focus group that benefit from treatment without anesthesia!
