At Apple Blossom Dental, our goal is to provide high-quality dental care while putting the comfort and safety of our patients first. One of the ways we do this is with state-of-the-art technology like laser dentistry. Dental lasers can be used to enhance multiple different dental procedures for a more pleasant, more efficient visit to our office.

How Does Laser Dentistry Work?

Dental lasers are a cutting-edge dental tool designed to deliver short bursts of energy at different wavelengths into the gums and teeth. Our dentist can use this tool to target specific dental problems in a less invasive, more efficient manner than traditional methods can offer. Laser dentistry also decreases risk of infection after treatment, minimizes bleeding during and after treatment, and allows for more precise treatment throughout. Because of the comfort they offer our patients, dental lasers can sometimes eliminate the need for anesthetic altogether.

What Can It Do?

Our dentist may use a dental laser to address a variety of issues with your teeth or the soft tissues of your mouth. It can be used on both hard and soft tissue to:

• Remove infected tissue, bacteria or plaque from your gums and teeth
• Cure or harden a dental filling
• Remove the decayed or damaged portion of a tooth
• Treat cold sores and canker sores
• Speed up teeth whitening treatment
• Recontour the gumline and address “gummy smiles”
• Treat obstructive sleep apnea
• Perform frenectomies
