Laser Dentistry

Lasers emit photons of light deep into tissues. This capability of lasers makes them an essential resource for dentists treating patients with TMD. Light photons emitted by the lasers used in laser dentistry, treat inflammation at its source deep within the tissue affected. This method of treatment helps reduce both pain and inflammation in the joint which has been shown to reduce headache pain associated with TMD as well.

 Utilizing dual-wavelength technologies, Er: YAG and Nd: YAG dental lasers can quickly, simply, and effectively treat gum disease.

By reshaping gum and bone tissue, lasers provide a healthier tooth structure for dentists to build future restorations on.

The frenulum is the fold of tissue directly under the tongue or lip that anchors it to the bottom of your mouth. When the frenulum is too thick or too tight, it can lead to trouble breastfeeding infants and speaking for young children.   It can also negatively impact jaw development.  

Sagging tissues in the back of the throat are rejuvenated using fractional laser technology. This laser energy creates hundreds of microscopic channels in the skin. The body responds with a wound response, even though the channels fully heal within just a few hours. The response is to produce new collagen and elastin sent to “heal” the wounds, tightening the sagging skin and reducing existing inflammation and opening the airway. There is no down time!
