Dr. Paris is proud to offer highly specialized laser therapy and gum lift treatments. Remarkable new laser treatment makes dental procedures faster, more efficient and more comfortable than ever. Laser surgery is one of the most advanced methods of providing comfortable oral care. Lasers utilize a beam of concentrated light to remove areas of infection or tooth decay with great precision. They are pain-free and vibration-free and generally eliminate the need for anesthetics. The laser also sterilizes the affected area and seals off blood vessels, minimizing the chance of infection or bleeding. To watch a video about Lasers, click below: Areas of Treatment

Are Lasers Safe?In the hands of a skilled, specially trained dentist, lasers are considered safe. Because dental lasers are low-powered, they are appropriate for treating the delicate tissues of the mouth. In addition, the controlled heat and light of the laser destroys many bacteria and viruses found in the mouth. |
