Laser Dentistry

What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser Dentistry is a process of gently washing away decay with laser-energized water droplets. The energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body), and soft gum tissue with no heat or discomfort in most cases.

What are the benefits of Laser Dentistry?

• Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the discomfort associated with the drill. Since laser cutting does not transmit heat or vibrations, many dental procedures can be performed without anesthesia, in most cases.
• The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave in place as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.
• Gently performs numerous soft gum tissue procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives Dr. DeLucia a new high-tech tool for many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled appointment and feel better afterwards.
• The laser prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes the bonding of tooth colored fillings, allowing them to last longer.
