Laser Teeth and Gum Treatments

Lasers have been used in partnership with traditional dental instruments since 1990. At ComfortCare Dental, we are excited to provide for our patients an array of laser treatments designed to speed up recovery time, improve accuracy and kill bacteria more effectively than non-laser treatments.

Types of Laser Treatments

There are many different types of treatments available to patients today that utilize laser therapy. Here are a few of the treatments that we offer:

• Periodontal Therapy: Gum grafting and scaling and root planning is the traditional gold standard treatment for periodontitis. At we use a specialized laser to precisely remove infected tissue from the tooth.

• Teeth Whitening: Laser technology has changed the game of teeth whitening. First, a bleaching gel is applied to the enamel surface of the tooth. The laser targets heats up and activates the bleach for quicker and more impressive results.

• Root Canal Therapy: We also use lasers to help eradicate E.coli and E.faecalis bacteria in root canal therapy.

Other uses:

• Limits and sometimes eliminates the need for a drill

• Patients report that laser, by contrast, is much more relaxing than the alternatives

• Shown to speed up the healing process

• Helps to control bleeding

• Minimizes or replaces the need for anesthesia

• Is more precise
