Laser Dentistry
In the past, gum treatments could be fairly complex, required incisions, and warranted extensive recovery time.
However, with today's technology, we offer advanced laser dentistry, which allows for more precise and comfortable periodontal treatment.

How Does Waterlase Work?
The Waterlase laser is a replacement for the traditional scalpel technique previously used to treat periodontal issues. Waterlase uses laser energy, air, and water to provide precise, virtually painless care. The laser provides a continuous stream of water during treatment to keep your teeth and gums hydrated and lower your level of discomfort, while carefully eliminating conservative amounts of infected or excess soft tissues.

Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Dentistry?
Waterlase technology is extremely versatile and represents a major advance in dentistry. It may be used to enhance your experience at the dentist, as well as help you achieve long-lasting oral health. In addition, we offer financing to make treatment affordable. You may benefit from the laser dentistry techniques provided at our Merritt Island, FL, dental office if you have:
Mild to Moderate Gum Disease
Typically, we perform scaling and root planing as an initial intervention for patients who have mild gum disease. If this therapy fails to reduce the depth of your gum pockets, we will recommend periodontal treatment using laser dentistry.
Excessive Gum Tissue
Excessive gum tissue can contribute to a gummy smile and an uneven gum line can make the teeth look crooked or misshaped. We can contour the soft tissues to nicely frame each tooth and produce a more attractive appearance.
What Else Can Laser Dentistry Treat?
Laser dentistry has many other applications in dental care, as well.
When patients have cavities, lasers can remove infected portions of a tooth prior to the placement of a dental filling.
Lasers can be used in cosmetic dentistry as a whitening option or to contour the gums and remove unwanted tissue.
Lasers can improve your periodontal health or reshape your gums to prepare you for dental implants, dentures, or crowns.
