Laser Dentistry

If you hate even the thought of a dental shot, or the sound of a dental drill, here’s some pleasant news to make you smile! On some cavities,Dr. Marcia Nemecek can now remove decay without the need for anesthesia, meaning there are NO SHOTS and NO DRILL in most cases. With our BioLase Dental Laser we use tooth-colored restorations on which you can chew immediately. Plus, there’s NO NUMB LIP. Now that’s something to smile about!

Laser dentistry is a conservative less traumatic alternative to using a high-speed drill. It allows your dentist to selectively remove decay and prepare a cavity very gently without drilling, leaving healthier tooth structure. The procedure can usually be undertaken without the need for you to have a local anaesthetic injection. Laser dentistry means you experience more comfortable treatment and that your dentist can treat several different areas at a time reducing the need for you to make several visits to the practice and reducing your time away from work or home. TheBioLase Dental Laser is also used to treat canker sores, apthous ulcers, fever blisters, and periodontal disease.
