Laser Dentistry
Medicine for the 21st Century

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.

Areas of Treatment

  • Hard tissue
  • Soft tissue
  • Aesthetic dentistry procedures such as curing of tooth-colored filling materials and tooth whitening

Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP)

To have successful results with a laser procedure requires thorough determination of contributing factors and a customized treatment plan for each individual patient. Achieving the desired results from a laser treatment requires not only choosing the correct laser, but also having the laser treatment performed by a thoroughly trained dental specialist.

 

Are Lasers New to Dentistry?

Lasers have been used on teeth and gums since their invention in the 1960's. In 1997, the FDA approved the use of a new laser that treats tooth decay, calling it "medicine for the 21st century." Today lasers are being used successfully in dentistry all over the world.

What are the benefits of Laser Dentistry over Traditional Methods?

  • Greater precision
  • Faster healing
  • Reduced risk of infection
  • Decreased sensitivity
  • Less bleeding during gum surgery
  • Less post-operative pain
  • More comfortable procedure: Less noise than traditional dental drills and no vibration
  • Eliminates aluminum oxide residue
  • Increased conservation of healthy tissue
  • Faster procedure
  • Potentially no need for an anesthetic

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.
