Laser Dentistry

Laser therapy in dentistry provides patients with a more comfortable dental treatment experience. Using laser dentistry, your dentist is able to deliver a precise treatment that is more comfortable, quicker, and provides more stunning results.

Benefits of laser therapy

There are several benefits to receiving 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 a less potential chance of bacterial infection because laser treatments are so precise.

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.

Oral Cancer Screening

Our office is not only dedicated to your smile, we’re also dedicated to your overall wellness. Like many kinds of cancer, oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early, which is why we include an oral cancer screening as a part of your regular exam.

While symptoms may be caused by other, less serious problems, it is very important to visit our office to rule out the possibility of oral cancer. The most common symptoms of oral cancer include:

• Red or white spots or sores anywhere in the oral cavity
• A sore that bleeds easily or does not heal
• A lump, thickening, or rough spot
• Pain, tenderness, or numbness anywhere in the mouth or on the lips
• Difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking, or moving the jaw or tongue

Teeth Whitening

There are many products and techniques available for patients who want to achieve a brighter smile, and with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that is right for you. The best way to begin any teeth-whitening regimen is to schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor about the differences between in-office professional whitening and at-home whitening.

During an appointment, your dental professional will apply a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The entire office visit generally takes about 90 minutes and you will be able to see results immediately.

Opalescence

Opalescence offers a wide range of tooth whitening products designed to brighten your smile. With custom-designed take-home, on-the-go, and in-office options, Opalescence Tooth Whitening Systems accommodate all lifestyles and budgets. Prescription-strength Opalescence Tooth Whitening Systems are stronger and more effective than over-the-counter teeth whitening products and are only available through your dentist.

• Safe: While using the Opalescence Tooth Whitening System, your dentist will supervise your treatment from initial consultation through completion. The special whitening gel will not affect your gums, and in many cases can help improve your oral health by strengthening tooth enamel, decreasing sensitivity, and offering increased cavity prevention.
• Effective: Opalescence Take Home Whitening Gels can provide results after just one night, although results may vary and can take up to a week before you experience noticeable changes.
• Customized: Your dentist will create your customized, personal bleaching trays from an alginate impression of your mouth; this customization is part of what makes Opalescence Take Home Whitening Gels so effective.

CEREC Crowns

CEREC crowns (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthertic Ceramics), a new cutting-edge form of dental restorations, consist of a high-quality ceramic material in various shades of white and serve as permanent crowns that preserve the look of a natural tooth. This type of dental restoration does not compromise on protecting your teeth and can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. The primary difference between a traditional dental crown and the CEREC same-day crown is CEREC’s computer-aided design.

The procedure uses CAD/CAM technology that forms the crown to an exact digital model of your teeth. CEREC then creates the crown from a block of ceramic while you briefly wait in the dentist’s office for the fabrication to finish. This process means you do not have to wear temporary crowns or end up with an ugly metal and porcelain crown that stands out from the rest of your teeth.

As with any other dental procedure, we will evaluate your situation to offer judgment on whether or not CEREC crowns work for you. CEREC technology provides all of the same benefits you would get from a traditional crown, just with an accelerated fabrication process.

Experience the speed of CEREC technology and get your teeth covered on the same day you walk into the dentist’s office!
