At Warren & Hagerman Family Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art dental lasers to deliver precise treatments in a shorter amount of time. Laser dentistry at our Litchfield Park, AZ, dental office allows us to provide our patients with a more comfortable, streamlined dental treatment experience.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry Treatment
- Anesthesia is not required for many laser dentistry treatments.
- Recovery time post-treatment is generally much quicker than with traditional dental treatment.
- Laser dentistry treatments are often more comfortable for patients.
- The risk of bacterial infection is lowered due to the precision of laser dentistry treatments.
We offer the following laser dentistry procedures at Warren & Hagerman Family Dentistry:
Gingivectomy
When severe gum disease cannot be cured with antibiotics or other treatment methods, your dentist may recommend a laser gingivectomy. A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure that removes and reshapes loose, diseased gum tissue to eliminate pockets between the teeth and gums. After a gingivectomy, it's easier for the patient to keep their teeth and gums clean and slow the progression of gum disease.
Gum Sculpting
This laser dentistry procedure has many different names, including laser gum reshaping, gum surgery, gum contouring, and dental crown lengthening. Even if a patient has straight, healthy, symmetrical teeth, their gum line may be uneven or fall too far below the lips. If you’re suffering from a “gummy smile,” laser dentistry could be the best way for you to get the beautiful smile you've always wanted!
Cold Sore Treatment
For patients suffering from cold sores or canker sores, Dr. Warren and Dr. Hagerman often recommend laser dentistry treatment. Laser treatment for cold sores works by heating the lesion to kill the virus and stimulate healing. Treatment typically lasts about 15 minutes, and most patients feel better immediately following their appointment.
Laser Root Desensitization
With laser root desensitization, you can finally find relief from tooth sensitivity. Our team will desensitize your tooth (or teeth) with a laser and place a tooth-colored filling over the area to protect it. Once the filling is in place, our dentists will use a desensitizing sealant to complete your treatment and help you return to eating your favorite foods with ease.
