What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses concentrated light energy to perform precise dental procedures with minimal invasion. At our practice, we utilize Solea® Laser Dentistry, a CO2 laser system that handles both soft tissues (gums) and hard tissues (teeth) without the noise or vibration of traditional tools. Common applications include:

• Gum contouring for a balanced smile.
• Biopsies for oral lesion analysis.

This technology reduces bleeding, speeds healing, and often eliminates the need for needles. Explore our Dental Fillings page to learn how lasers make cavity treatment stress-free.
