The development of dental lasers provides patients with dental anxiety or who have a fear of the dentist, virtually painless dental treatment options.

Today, we can use dental lasers to treat tooth decay and periodontal gum disease, perform biopsies or the removal of oral lesions, cure restorative (filling) materials, and activate in-office teeth whitening treatment systems.
Dental lasers combine energy with water and air to efficiently and safely cut and shape target soft or hard tissues in the patient’s mouth.

Laser energy precisely cuts through the hard tooth by exciting the water molecules in the patient’s tooth. The laser operates without direct contact with the tooth, without heat, pressure, or vibration, thereby minimizing the discomfort of the treatment and the need for anesthesia. In addition, dentistry lasers can lessen anxiety for patients fearful of dental work or the dentist’s office. Also, dental lasers minimize post-operative bleeding and swelling and preserve healthy tooth structure while removing tooth decay
