Types of Laser Dentistry Treatments and Procedures We Use At SmileOn

Laser dentistry has transformed the way we approach dental care, offering patients more comfort, precision, and faster recovery times. At SmileOn Dentistry, we are proud to use advanced laser technology to perform a range of treatments that benefit your oral health while minimizing discomfort. Whether you are dealing with gum disease or need a cosmetic touch-up, laser dentistry may be the right solution for you.

Gum Disease Treatment

One of the most common uses of laser dentistry is in the treatment of gum disease. Traditional gum surgery can be invasive and require a long recovery period. With lasers, we can target infected areas with precision, removing bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. Laser therapy also promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of bleeding or infection.
 

Gum Contouring and Reshaping

If you feel like your smile is too “gummy” or uneven, laser gum contouring may be the answer. This cosmetic procedure uses laser energy to gently reshape the gumline, enhancing the appearance of your teeth and smile. Because it is minimally invasive, the procedure typically involves little to no discomfort and requires minimal recovery time.
 

Cavity Detection and Fillings

Laser technology allows us to detect cavities in their earliest stages, often before they are visible on X-rays or cause pain. For small cavities, lasers can be used to remove decayed tissue with great accuracy and without the need for drills. This creates a more comfortable experience for patients and helps preserve more of the natural tooth structure.
 

Teeth Whitening Enhancement

Lasers can also be used to speed up in-office teeth whitening procedures. By activating the whitening gel with a laser, we can enhance its effectiveness and help you achieve a brighter smile in less time than traditional whitening methods.
 

Crown Lengthening

Sometimes a tooth needs more exposure above the gumline in order to place a crown or filling. Laser crown lengthening can safely and precisely reshape gum and bone tissue, allowing us to perform the necessary restoration work more effectively.
