Laser Dentistry

Fear and anxiety, whether mild or severe, is real and for many people can be a barrier to seeking dental treatment. Studies show that as many as 75% of adults in the U.S. experience some degree of dental fear. Drills, needles and numb lips can prevent people from taking a positive, proactive approach to oral health.

Laser dentistry helps patients who are anxious or fearful by reducing the need for anesthetic, and allows the ability to perform multiple restorations that once entailed multiple appointments, but now can be completed in a single visit.

A “traditional” dentist uses the drill and needle for conventional dentistry. The drill works by FRICTION, which causes HEAT, which inflicts PAIN.
