All About Laser Dentistry

The number of applications for lasers in dentistry is astounding. We use the BIOLASE Waterlase ® MD, one of the most advanced laser dentistry systems, at Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry for many procedures that would otherwise require drills or blades. These procedures can now be done faster, more accurately, and more comfortably with laser dentistry. Because there is usually little or no pain involved in laser dentistry procedures, guests can avoid the irritating numbness of local anesthetic and still enjoy a pain-free dental experience. See the results of cosmetic dentistry procedures we've performed using laser dentistry at Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry.

Soft-tissue Procedures
In dentistry, soft-tissue procedures are those that primarily involve the gums. Laser dentistry can be applied to a wide variety of soft-tissue cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as gingival recontouring, frenectomies, and crown lengthening. Due to the way the laser acts on the tissue, there is no pain or bleeding during the procedure, and healing is much more rapid than it is with traditional techniques.

Hard-tissue Procedures
Dental procedures that involve the teeth and bones are referred to as hard-tissue procedures. Laser dentistry applications in hard-tissue procedures include etching or roughening of a tooth's surface (as in preparation for porcelain veneers), reshaping of malformed teeth, and removal of old porcelain restorations. Without the use of a drill, these procedures are fast and painless. This allows the dentist to accomplish more in a single visit and the guest to get better results faster and with less discomfort.
