Discover the Benefits of Laser Dentistry

• Safety: Lasers have been used in dentistry for a long time, although many dental practices have been slow to adopt this technology. You can feel confident in its track record.
• Comfort: Not only are lasers gentle, but they also eliminate or reduce your need for drills and needles. Because they are also silent, you should feel less anxious overall.
• Precision: Lasers allow Dr. Julie Jang to target specific areas with the utmost precision. In doing so, she can leave more healthy tissue intact.
• Shorter recovery: When you undergo a laser procedure, your recovery tends to be much quicker than for other dental procedures. This is true in part because it leaves healthy tissue intact, but also because lasers can help promote tissue regeneration. You should have minimal bleeding and swelling after laser dentistry.

Laser Dental Treatments and Laser Gum Treatments We Offer

Lasers represent a huge leap forward in the field of not just dentistry – but also periodontistry. Periodontic treatment is concerned with the health of your gums, and poor gum health can lead to a variety of dental health issues.

Gum Recontouring

Also known as gum reshaping or gum lift, this cosmetic treatment is a great solution if you have an uneven gumline or you do not like how “gummy” your smile looks. The laser can treat excess gum tissue to give your gums a new, more attractive appearance. It is a far less invasive approach than traditional surgery for this issue, with minimal bleeding and a shorter recovery.

Laser Bacterial Reduction

Laser bacterial removal has become a standard part of appointments at Harmony Family Dentistry. Because bacteria often spread to other parts of your mouth during your biannual cleaning, the hygienist now kicks off your teeth cleaning by using a laser to preemptively kill bacteria on and underneath your gums. This helps to keep your gums clean and healthy.

Laser Curettage

If you have a moderate or advanced case of periodontitis (gum disease), this popular laser treatment can help to restore your gum health. The heat from the laser is highly effective at eliminating bacteria stuck in the pockets underneath your gums. When possible, we recommend this over surgical solutions to gum disease since it is a gentler treatment that also stimulates healthy tissue regeneration.

Experience the Benefits of Laser Dentistry for Yourself

If your current dentist does not offer laser treatments, it may be time to upgrade to a professional team that makes every effort to provide you with the best and most comfortable treatments. Your gums can become healthier and even more aesthetically pleasing with our exciting treatments.
