Hard Tissue Lasers

Hard tissue lasers can be used for many cosmetic and restorative procedures. These lasers are especially useful for removing decayed tooth matter. It has been found that cavities can be treated in a fraction of the time it takes for a drill to remove decayed tooth matter with added benefits: the procedure is more precise, and virtually painless.

Soft Tissue Lasers

Soft tissue lasers have been found to be a great tool in fighting gum diseases and other soft tissue ailments. Gum disease treatments in the past were often painful, requiring the use of anesthetics to make the procedures more tolerable for patients. Soft tissue lasers are minimally invasive, cause no pain, and reduce healing time. Soft tissue lasers have also been found to be very effective in treating cold sores by killing the virus before it causes inflammation, or reduces the healing time for the embarrassing sores.
