At Marshlands Family Dentistry, we take pride in staying at the forefront of dental technology to deliver exceptional, efficient, and comfortable care to our patients. We believe that investing in cutting-edge tools and techniques is a crucial part of providing you with healthy and beautiful smiles.

One of the most exciting advancements in dentistry has been the advent of laser technology. Today, dental lasers have revolutionized treatment options for various issues affecting both soft and hard tissues in and around your mouth.

The wide range of applications for dental lasers:

• Removing tooth decay
• Addressing gum disease
• Improving the appearance of "gummy" smiles
• Performing crown lengthening procedures
• Treating tongue or lip-ties with a frenectomy
• Conducting biopsies and removing oral lesions
• Curing restorative (filling) materials
• Enhancing the effectiveness of in-office teeth whitening systems

A modern alternative to traditional dental procedures

The word "laser" is an acronym that stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Dental lasers emit light energy in a highly concentrated, narrow beam. By combining this light with water and air, dentists can precisely target and safely treat specific soft or hard tissues within the oral cavity.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on drills and scalpels, dental lasers offer a minimally invasive approach to treatment. This often means reduced patient discomfort, swelling, and bleeding during procedures, as well as improved post-operative healing and recovery times with less scarring.

Enjoying the benefits of laser dentistry:

One significant advantage of dental lasers is their ability to provide a more comfortable patient experience. Since they operate without direct contact with the targeted tissues and eliminate heat, vibration, or discomfort associated with conventional procedures, many laser treatments require no local anesthesia.

Moreover, dental lasers also offer improved precision and efficiency during treatment. By providing greater control over the procedure, lasers can lead to better outcomes and a lower risk of complications, whether they're being used to remove decay or reshape gum tissues.
