Lares Laser ND:Yag,Er:Yag) and soft tissue diode laser.

Imagine having a filling with no pain, no shots, no scary drilling sounds or vibrations.  These are often the scariest things about going to your dentist.  The dream is here.

Utilizing this hard/soft tissue laser (Nd:Yag & Er:Yag), we can perform many treatments with reduced pain, improved precision, and often without the need for local anesthetic.  Minimally invasive root canal and peridontal treatment can be done without major discomfort.

We also utilize the  Hoya Dio-Dent diode laser for some periodontal and soft tissue procedures.

Patients will experience less pain with lasers, and will heal more rapidly than with more traditional treatment methods. This makes laser dentistry the perfect option for those who have treatment anxiety.

In the end, dentistry is all about the patient and keeping up with new technology to improve comfort and better treatment results.   Here’s how patients benefit from laser usage:

• Fear of needles: The best performing dental lasers can be used to perform almost all common cavity preparation procedures without the need for patient anesthesia. Patients don’t like injections, even when they don’t hurt!
• Dislike of numbness: Patients prefer not to become numb or leave the dental practice after a procedure numb. And, many patients feel anxious from physiological reactions to commonly used anesthetics. A high performance dental laser can eliminates this negative.
• Dislike of drill noise and vibration: Highspeed handpiece cavity preparation involves significant objectionable noise and vibration for the patient and they dislike it. The sound of a laser is not objectionable and no vibration is transmitted to the patient as the tip of the laser never even needs to contact the tooth!
• Convinience of treatment- A good quality laser with soft tissue surgery capability allows many soft tissue procedures to be done with little or no bleeding, less post operative discomfort and faster healing time due to a laser’s ability to coagulate as it cuts.
• Conservative Fillings & Preservation of healthy tooth structure: In general cavity preparations performed with lasers preserve more healthy tooth structure while avoiding the micro-cracking of healthy enamel associated with dental handpiece use.  This allows better bonding with tooth colored resin.
• Laser Root Canal Treatment:  Done with the PIPS™ procedure to  chemically clean and debride the root canals. using Er: YAG laser energy to create photoacoustic shock waves which can effectively clean the root canal system. The PIPS™ (Photon Induced photoacoustic Streaming) procedure was developed by Dr. Enrico DiVito, along with his research team at Medical Dental Advanced Technologies Group, LLC and Dr. Mark Colonna.
  
• Laser root canal treatment has less filing  and more efficient cleaning in the root canals which significantly reduces chair time and less patient discomfort.
  
• Less post operative discomfort: Many laser procedures result in less post operative discomfort for the patient.
• Soft tissue laser treatment: Both the diode and Nd:Yag laser can be used to perform  frenectomy & frenotomy, gum contouring, laser gum treatment, treatment of aphthous ulcers, soft tissue crown lengthening, exposure of unerupted teeth, incision & drainage of abscess, fibroma removal, treating teeth sensitivity and painful ulcers.  Laser surgical procedures improves healing time, reduces post-operative discomfort and also reduces the likelihood of bacterial infection.

• Better Overall Care- Equiped with laser technology,we can offer more and better treatment options than without a laser, resulting in delivery of the very best, state of the art care possible for our patients.

The positive impact of these benefits on how patients perceive their dentist and their dental care experience is dramatic.  We want the best for you and your family!
