No Pain - All Gain. Experience Laser Dentistry

Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is a modern technique that uses high-energy light beams, or lasers, to treat dental problems. Lasers can be used in various dental procedures, including gum disease treatment, cavity removal, tooth whitening, and more.

During laser dentistry procedures, the laser beam is directed towards the treatment area, which can selectively remove or alter tissue. The light energy from the laser can vaporize tissue or cut through it, depending on the wavelength used.

One of the biggest advantages of laser dentistry is that it can be a more precise and less invasive alternative to traditional dental procedures. Lasers can be used to target specific areas of the mouth without harming surrounding tissue, which can lead to faster healing times, less discomfort, and reduced risk of infection.

Laser dentistry can also be less painful than traditional methods, which can help patients who experience anxiety or fear during dental visits. Additionally, because lasers can minimize bleeding and swelling, it can be a great option for patients who are on blood thinners or have bleeding disorders.

Overall, laser dentistry is a safe and effective option for many dental procedures, and it continues to gain popularity as more dentists incorporate this technology into their practices.

Another wonderful experience. Dr. Kumar has amd Sarah checked in on my comfort level throughout the 2.5 hour root canal which revealed 3 roots and completed the procedure without experiencing any pain. Cynthia, at the front desk, who wears many hats was happy to help me with directions and tech support and Molly, the dental hygienist was happy to answer my questions also.

Dr. Kumar, Sarah and Sherry are Fantastic! We found Dr. Kumar via a community group for special needs parents. Those (like myself) looking for a kind, gentle, patient dentist were all told of Dr. Kumar. And they were all right! He is patient, kind, soft spoken, and terrific with young people with sensory processing disorder and Autism. SO glad we found him. And not only am I taking my child to him (who is 20 yrs old), but I transferred to him as well. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you. Diane
