Modern Dental Laser Technology in Yuma
Recent advances in dental technology have completely transformed the way we care for our patients — and one of the most exciting developments is laser dentistry. At The Yuma Dentist, we proudly offer this modern, minimally invasive treatment option to patients in Yuma and Fortuna Foothills.
Laser dentistry allows us to perform soft and hard tissue procedures with improved comfort, faster healing, and greater precision. Whether you’re treating gum disease or reshaping your smile, dental lasers help us provide safer, more effective outcomes.
What Can Laser Dentistry Treat?
We use both soft-tissue and hard-tissue dental lasers for a variety of procedures, including:
- Gum Disease Treatment: Laser therapy allows us to gently remove bacteria and infected tissue while promoting natural healing — all with minimal discomfort. It’s a highly effective option for managing periodontal disease.
- “Gummy” Smile Correction: Do your gums overshadow your teeth when you smile? Using a soft-tissue laser, we can reshape your gum line to reduce excess tissue and reveal more of your natural tooth surface. This safe, cosmetic procedure can transform your smile in just one visit.
- Hard-Tissue Laser Surgery: Our advanced hard-tissue laser lets us perform procedures such as enameloplasty (reshaping tooth enamel), bone contouring, caries (decay) removal, and more — often without the need for a drill or anesthesia.
Experience the Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers numerous benefits for our patients, including:
- Faster healing with less bleeding and swelling
- Minimal discomfort during and after treatment
- Reduced risk of infection
- Often no need for anesthesia or stitches
Whether you need treatment for gum disease, want to enhance your smile, or are exploring alternatives to traditional surgical procedures, our dental laser technology allows us to offer precise, effective, and comfortable care.
