State of the Art Dental Care
Focus on Comfort: Laser Dentistry
Powerful Potential for Surgery,Bacterial reduction, and Healing
I believe in providing state of the art dental care and as such have incorperated lasers into our everyday procedures
LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, a complicated string of words that basically means a single wavelength beam of highly concentrated light energy.
Lasers have transformed medical surgery by offering minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional scalpel incisions and sutured closures. The laser's intense, narrow wavelength has precise, predictable, and powerful reactions when it contacts hard or soft tissues of the body. Laser light is extremely efficient, producing very little heat as it acts on its target. This makes it ideal for oral surgery, since it seldom affects tissues other than those it targets. The laser provides precise control over the depth and extent of cutting, while simultaneously minimizing bleeding and sterilizing the treatment area.
We currently use 3 LASERS
- DIAGNOdent
- Navigator Diode
- Periolase Nd:YAG
DIAGNOdent
We use this every day to help detect decay below the tooth surface.
Navigator Diode
Both I and my hygienists use this daily for soft tissue contouring, and bacterial pocket reduction

Periolase Nd:YAG
I use this laser to provide gum teratment for our patients with gum disease as well as other procedures
