Laser Dentistry
Many patients are scared of all medical or dental procedures requiring a needle. Others cannot tolerate the noise of a dental drill up close and personal.
Peach Family Dentistry’s Biolase Waterlase® laser technology offers a pain free and quiet treatment. In most cases, patients do not require any anesthetic for fillings and other routine dental procedures.
Federally approved and ADA cleared for numerous pediatric and adult patients.
Waterlase laser technology is a precision tool for the removal of:
Tooth decay
Unsightly and/or compromised tooth structure without damage or cracking risk to the rest of healthy teeth structure
The laser is minimally invasive and the most conservative way to remove decay. In addition to removal of decay and structure abnormalities, there are many other applications for dental laser procedures:
Periodontal surgery
Gingivectomy
Frenectomy/Tongue-tie
Implant repair
Root canal therapy
Crown lengthening
Many more!
Benefits of laser dentistry
Less discomfort or pain
Decreased healing time
Reduced and/or elimination for anesthesia injections
Suture-free treatment; commonly not even one stitch required
Significantly reduced risk of infection
Gummy Smile
Another innovative use for the Biolase Waterlase ® laser is gingival recontouring. This relatively pain-free treatment more gently removes “extra” gum tissue. A gummy smile does not affect dental health, however, many customers do not like to smile. Our team finds that only a small amount of a topical numbing gel (NO SHOTS) is required to perform the gingival recontouring to restore a patient’s smile!
