Laser Dentistry

Serving Sonora, near Stockton & Modesto

Lasers are now a big part of dentistry in progressive practices that value efficiency, precision and comfort. The LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) works by penetrating the targeted surface with intense light rays in order to accomplish a specific task. The introduction of this instrument into cosmetic and restorative dentistry has expanded dental capabilities and provided patients with better results and quicker healing times.

Laser dentist, Dr. Berger uses lasers for:

• Soft tissue (gum) recontouring
• Curing (hardening) of white fillings
• Periodontal (gum disease) therapy
• Root canal therapy

These procedures can now be performed quicker than ever with precision levels nearly impossible to recreate by hand. The laser has replaced the dental drill for cavity removal, so the discomfort associated with drill heat and vibration is eliminated. The use of the dental laser also eliminates the need for anesthesia in many cases.

Of most interest to patients having laser therapy is the pain-free aspect. The laser vaporizes tissue cleanly, with no bleeding and no need for stitches. Tasks that may have required incisions at one time can now be completed without this invasive step.

The role of lasers in dentistry is constantly expanding. Within a few years, new uses for the laser may be integrated into dental practices, providing you with even
more pain-free treatment options.
