Advanced, Minimally Invasive Gum Care

Traditional periodontal treatments often require scalpels and stitches. Laser therapy changes that completely. Dr. Anthony Ortega uses precision dental lasers to gently target and remove diseased tissue while leaving your healthy gums perfectly intact.

This gentle approach does more than just clean the area. It actively encourages your natural gum tissue to regenerate and reattach to your teeth. As a result, you face a much lower chance of gum disease returning compared to traditional surgical methods.

The Benefits of Laser Dental Treatments

Choosing laser therapy offers incredible advantages for both your comfort and your long-term oral health. When you receive laser dentistry at our office, you can expect:

  • Virtually Pain-Free Care: The laser is incredibly gentle. In many cases, we only need to use a light anesthetic spray, completely eliminating the need for numb injections.
  • Faster Healing and Recovery: Because the laser is less invasive, you experience significantly less bleeding and swelling. Your mouth actually begins to heal the exact moment your treatment ends.
  • Lower Risk of Infection: The high-energy light beam acts as a natural sterilizer. It cleans the work area instantly, drastically reducing your chance of bacterial infections.
  • A Relaxing Experience: Laser treatments do not produce the loud drill noises or vibrations that often cause dental anxiety. You can sit back and relax while we restore your smile.

FAQ

With laser treatment, there is reduced or no bleeding, minimized swelling, no charring, and no drill noise or vibration. The stress and anxiety often associated with dental work is therefore eliminated when you experience quick, effective, and essentially pain-free laser procedures. Also, postoperative sensitivity is greatly limited by laser dentistry, and recovery time is much quicker than with traditional methods. In fact, due to the less-invasive nature of the laser technique, the mouth begins to heal immediately after work is completed!

Reduced Risk of Infection:

The laser’s high-energy light beam acts as a sterilizer on the area it is working, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial infections and relapses.

Anesthesia Limited or Eliminated:

Because laser dentistry is virtually painless, no longer will you suffer with fear of injections and numbness. Often, only a light anesthetic spray is required. Laser treatment eliminates the complications and cost associated with anesthesia.

Dr. Ortega can perform a variety of procedures using laser technology, such as a frenectomy, osseous surgery, and gum grafting. Dr. Ortega is also able to use laser technology as a way to regenerate healthy gums and remove diseases areas in a virtually painless way. This method also encourages healthy gum to regenerate and attach to the teeth. There is a much lower chance of gum disease returning when laser therapy is used as opposed to traditional surgery.

The best way to prepare for a dental exam is to practice good dental care. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day is recommended. Be sure to clean your teeth before you arrive at your appointment. Our team will be cleaning your teeth for you, but it is helpful to remove food and plaque beforehand so we can focus on the more difficult-to-clean areas. You also want to make sure you are prepared to share pertinent information such as your medical history, insurance coverage and current dental care methods with us. Don’t be embarrassed to be honest about your oral health habits – our team is not here to judge you, but to work with you to improve your habits and ensure dental health! Lastly, be prepared to schedule a follow-up appointment or future check-up at the end of your dental exam.
