Lasers in Modern Dentistry

There are many uses for lasers in modern dentistry. Lasers can be used as a cosmetic procedure to improve your smile. If you are self conscious about a gummy smile, we can use laser therapy to reshape the gums and improve the appearance of your smile!


Lasers can also be used to effectively treat gum disease. The laser removes bacteria from gum pockets and encourages the natural healing process.

There are also different types of hard tissue lasers and CO2 lasers the can effectively prepare teeth for restoration, although, in most cases the restoration must be for initial placement. In some cases, the need for anesthetic is eliminated. After the teeth are prepared, a composite or porcelain filling can be placed to properly restore the tooth to proper function.
