Laser Dentistry in Canandaigua, NY

Laser therapy in dentistry has revolutionized the way we provide treatments for patients. It allows your dentist to deliver a quicker and more precise procedure so that you have a comfortable dental experience that is virtually pain-free.

What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

There are several benefits to receiving a laser therapy dental treatment.

  • Many laser treatments do not require anesthesia, and the recovery time is much quicker than with traditional treatment methods.
  • Treatments are more comfortable.
  • There is less potential chance of bacterial infection because laser treatments are so precise.

Two types of laser dentistry

There are two different types of laser dentistry: hard tissue and soft tissue. Hard tissue includes treatments such as cavity detection, dental fillings, and tooth sensitivity improvements. Soft tissue treatments include gum reshaping, gum surgery, and muscle attachment improvements.

Procedures such as removing benign oral tumors, regenerating nerves, overcoming sleep apnea, whitening teeth, and treating TMD are also considered laser dentistry treatments.

Biolase

Biolase laser dentistry uses laser energy and water spray to perform procedures without anesthesia or a drill. The continuous spray of water prevents heat from the laser contacting your teeth and mouth so that you have a painless experience.

Unlike conventional drills that remove large amounts of tooth during a procedure, Biolase gives your dentist the ability to remove only very precise amounts of your tooth and cutting out the need for anesthesia. As a result, the procedure is less invasive and the recovery time is much shorter.

Laura C.

I have sensitivity due to receding gums and had to have a cavity filled right at the gum line where it is most sensitive. Even though I’ve been coming here forever I was anxious about it. Everything went smoothly and pain-free.

As a first time patient I found everyone from office to dental chair efficient, courteous, and professional. Help with type of payment to what needed to be done with cleaning, my gums and the need to follow up with an oral surgeon. I am very pleased.
