Laser Dentistry

Laser cavity detector: How does it work?

A laser diode provides pulsed light of a defined wavelength that is directed onto the tooth. When the light meets a change in tooth substance, it stimulates fluorescent light of a different wavelength. The advantages of this advanced diagnosis include:

• even small, early decay can be detected
• this type of treatment is very conservative
• it’s safe to use and offers consistent results
• it allows precise, reliable measurement
• the health of the tooth structure is preserved

We also use soft-tissue laser surgery for gentle cosmetic gum contouring. This can eliminate “gummy” smiles and provide a more pleasing, more functional relationship between your gums and teeth.
