What Is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses concentrated light beams to alter hard and soft tissues in your mouth. Our office is equipped with multiple lasers at different strengths and frequencies, and we can use dental lasers in various applications. Laser dentistry is a rapidly expanding field within dental healthcare, and we pride ourselves on staying informed about effective new treatments that will benefit you.

Laser Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Smile

Our practice employs the TouchWhite™ teeth whitening process. This method uses a precise wavelength to enhance the effectiveness of whitening gel in less time than traditional methods and with fewer side effects. The laser's wavelength specifically targets the gel, heating it to make the whitening process occur more quickly.

This treatment has numerous advantages over regular bleach trays, including minimal tooth sensitivity during and after the procedure. If you're looking for effective in-office whitening, TouchWhite treatments at our practice are an effective place to start.

Our Effective Sleep Apnea Treatment

If you or your partner are experiencing the negative effects of sleep apnea and snoring, our NightLase® treatments can assist in mitigating your symptoms and help you get a more restful, comfortable sleep. NightLase® is a non-invasive procedure that can increase your sleep quality and decrease the intensity of your snoring by using laser pulses to target the tissue at the back of the throat. Our dentist can stimulate the tissue to contract and tighten it, creating a more open airway. This contraction will help reduce negative symptoms that affect restful sleep, like snoring and gasping for air.

The treatment is relatively simple to perform and boasts a high success rate among our patients. We encourage you to ask our dentist about our laser sleep apnea treatments if you are experiencing these symptoms or have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.

Laser-Assisted TMD Relief

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is a low-impact treatment that uses near-infrared light pulses to stimulate healing at the cellular level. This treatment is designed to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in many areas of the body. We use PBM to relax muscles and reduce inflammation around the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), providing relief for TMJ disorder. The near-infrared light pulses will:

Help cells store more natural fuel for activity and metabolism
Promote cellular repair and healing
Dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation

We sometimes pair our PBM treatments with customized maxillofacial prosthodontics. These devices can help maximize the lasers' therapeutic effect, and we will consult with you about the need for dental appliances depending on your needs.

Is Laser Dentistry Safe?

One of the requirements for employing laser treatments in dentistry is extensive additional schooling and hands-on instruction. Our dentist has completed the education and training for each dental laser device we use at our practice, so you can rest easy knowing you're in capable hands. Our skilled dentist will deliver safe and effective care.

As an added precaution during your procedure, you will also be furnished with protective eyewear. Our laser treatments provide effective results with very few side effects, and we will always be available to discuss any questions you might have so you can be confident about your care. We have helped many patients achieve positive results with laser dentistry over the years and apply that valuable experience to provide you with the excellent treatment you deserve.
