What Is Laser Dentistry?
Unlike traditional dentistry that relies on metal instruments and rotary tools, laser dentistry uses highly focused beams of light to perform dental procedures. Often combined with water or air suction, lasers help keep the treatment area clean and cool while minimizing discomfort. Dr. Kruse is specially trained in laser techniques, making many procedures quicker, more precise, and less invasive than ever before.
What Can Laser Dentistry Treat?
Dr. Kruse will determine if laser treatment is the right option for you. Lasers are commonly used for:
- Filling placement and replacement
- Gum surgery, including reshaping a “gummy smile” and treating gum disease
- Root canal therapy for better disinfection
- Oral lesion removal
- Certain mouth biopsies
- Cold sore and mouth ulcer treatment
- Strengthening dental bonding and fillings
- In-office teeth whitening treatments
