Laser Cleaning

​

With all of the new research linking the health of the gums to overall health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and dementia, it has never been more important to maintain a healthy mouth. Our doctors and hygienists have been trained in all aspects of the oral-systemic connections and will teach you about the new information and techniques to improve your dental health. We are one of the first dental practices in the region to test for the bacteria that cause gum infections and we will create a personalized plan to help you prevent gum infections and improve your overall health.

Laser Gum Surgery

​

If you have a more advanced form of gum disease, laser gum surgery is an extremely effective approach that results in rapid healing and minimal discomfort. Because the laser disinfects the surgical site so thoroughly, healing is rapid and infections extremely rare. There are no sutures because the laser seals treated areas immediately. By replacing the scalpel with the laser the results have never been easier, cleaner, quicker, or more effective.

 

Cosmetic Laser Treatments

​

The laser can be used to improve the appearance of the teeth and prominent tissue can be re-contoured and shaped. Teeth that appear very "short" due to gum position can be lengthened.
