Advanced Dental Technology

Soft tissue lasers may sound intimidating, but their practical benefits are numerous and they’ve changed many dental procedures for the better. They’re most often employed in surgical procedures, including tongue tie removals, frenectomies, and gum line reconstruction.

Soft tissue lasers can also be used to treat cold sores, detect cavities, remove tumors, and assist in the treatment of sleep apnea, TMJ/TMD, nerve regeneration, and even teeth whitening.

Laser technology isn’t just convenient; it’s also safer than other forms of treatment. Some health benefits of laser technology include:

• Faster healing times: Since lasers cauterize every wound they create, the healing time for a laser procedure is far less than surgical procedures with other materials.
• Less noise: Lasers are quieter than most dental drills, which usually helps children and adults alike feel more comfortable during the procedure.
• Greater precision: With soft-tissue lasers, we can perform procedures with greater accuracy and less trauma to the surrounding gums.

Digital x-rays are another form of advanced dental technology that we utilize here at Scott R. Adishian, D.D.S. Inc. With high-quality imaging, we can more quickly and accurately diagnose and treat any problems in their infancy, before they become more serious.
