Laser Dentistry Care

Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers are an advanced type of dental instrument used in general and cosmetic dental procedures. Many times, lasers are used in place of older instruments such as a scalpel or drill because of its benefits not only for the dental team but also you as a patient. 

Lasers have been used since the early 1990s in dentistry, and both soft and hard tissue lasers are used at SmileCare Dental. The use of lasers has been approved by the FDA and is perfectly safe for you. 

We utilize this technology for its many applications and benefits:

• Often reduces need for a scalpel and sutures
• Little to no bleeding
• Shorter healing time
• Great for tissue shaping during cosmetic procedures
• Used to remove canker sores and fibromas
• Used in children to remove a tongue-tie or to complete a frenectomy
