Laser Dentistry | Greenwood Area Dentist

"Many people who have apprehensions about dental treatment find that laser dentistry can alleviate a lot of those fears, therefore taking the anxiety out of future dental appointments. Overcoming this fear is vital to receive better care...better health." - Dr Sammons, Indianapolis and Greenwood area Dentist

Laser dentistry is definitely part of the next wave of advanced dental treatment. Its precision, effectiveness and gentleness make it a perfect method of treatment for a variety of dental issues.

Our Indianapolis and Greenwood area dentist uses the Biolase Waterlase MD Laser, which is used on both the hard and soft tissues of the teeth and mouth. It's powerful enough to be used in preparing teeth rather than using a drill, which is a real plus to our patients. Many will enjoy skipping the uncomfortable noise and feel of a drill, and yet it is gentle enough to be used to contour gum tissue.

Using a laser is quick and comfortable for the patients of our Indianapolis dentist. When used for soft tissue work like gum contouring to correct "gummy smiles", it minimizes or totally stops any bleeding and significantly speeds up the healing process. Because of its gentleness, it requires the use of only topical anesthetic instead of any local anesthetic.

It's also a wonderfully effective aid in the treatment of periodontal disease. If a patient has isolated gum infections that won't clear up with tradition treatments, another option is to use a laser to treat the problem area. Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection and antibiotics are made to target specific bacteria which limits its effectiveness, whereas our Indianapolis dentist can use a Waterlase to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Once again, the gentle effects of the laser make numbing the affected area unnecessary.

Laser dentistry can give you a more comfortable dental experience than you've ever had before.
