What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses focused light beams for dental procedures with greater precision and comfort than traditional methods. Used since 1994, this evolving technology offers new possibilities for dental care. Our dentists use lasers to treat various oral health issues, acting as a cutting instrument or tissue vaporizer.

What Are The Available Dental Procedures?

We use laser technology for cavity detection and removal, gum disease treatment, soft tissue procedures like biopsies and lesion removal, and teeth whitening. Our advanced lasers promote faster healing, reduce discomfort, and minimize bleeding and swelling.

Advanced Laser Gum Disease Treatment

At Midtown Dental Services, we specialize in revolutionary laser treatment for gum disease. Periodontal (gum) disease affects millions of Americans and is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Traditional treatments often involve invasive surgery with scalpels and sutures. Our advanced laser approach offers a superior alternative that’s more comfortable, more effective, and promotes natural healing.

LANAP: The Gold Standard in Laser Periodontal Therapy

We’re proud to offer LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) – the only FDA-cleared laser protocol for true periodontal regeneration. LANAP represents the pinnacle of gum disease treatment technology, allowing us to effectively treat moderate to severe periodontal disease with minimal discomfort and exceptional results.

The LANAP procedure uses the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser, specifically designed to target diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue. This precision treatment selectively removes the bacteria and infected tissue from the periodontal pocket without cutting or suturing the gums. The laser energy then stimulates the bone around the tooth root, promoting regeneration and healing.

The LANAP Treatment Process

We begin with a comprehensive examination to assess your gum health
The laser’s ultrathin tip (about the thickness of three human hairs) is gently inserted between the gum and tooth
The laser selectively removes diseased tissue and kills bacteria without harming healthy tissue
Ultrasonic scalers remove tartar from the root surfaces
The laser is used again at a different setting to create a stable blood clot and seal the pocket
Your bite is adjusted as needed to prevent excessive force on healing tissues

Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure and can return to their normal activities within 24 hours. The entire mouth can typically be treated in just two visits.

Laser Dentistry In Midtown

Laser dentistry has revolutionized modern dental care, offering patients a more comfortable and precise treatment experience. This advanced technology eliminates the need for drills in many procedures, reducing patient anxiety and discomfort. Laser treatments often result in minimal bleeding, faster healing times, and reduced need for anesthesia. For soft tissue procedures, lasers can precisely shape and contour gums while simultaneously sterilizing the treatment area, lowering the risk of infection. Additionally, laser dentistry preserves more healthy tooth structure during cavity removal and can detect decay earlier than traditional methods. Patients also benefit from shorter appointment times and fewer post-procedure restrictions.
