Laser Drilled Fillings

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.  There's no need to imagine it.  Come and experience it at SmileSmart Dental.

What Is Laser Drilling

We us our hard/soft tissue laser instead of a rotary tool to prepare the tooth for the filling.  This process is safe and effective, and brings dentistry into the 21st century.

Benefits of Laser Drilling

There are many benefits to laser dental restoration.

Cavity preparations performed with lasers generally preserve more healthy tooth structure, and avoid the micro-cracking of healthy enamel associated with dental handpiece use.  This allows better bonding with tooth colored resin.

The anxiety experienced during fillings is dramatically reduced utilizing laser technologies.  Even children find that there is significantly less pain, fear, and anxiety when preparing a filling with the laser instead of a rotary handpeice.  With no noise, and no vibrations, it is a much more comfortable experience.

In many cases, you will not even require a shot to numb the area.  This can further reduce your discomfort and anxiety -- especially if you are scared of needles!
