The use of lasers in dental work makes for comfortable dentistry. In fact, it often alleviates the need for anesthesia because it takes the place of incisions, drilling, and other painful techniques. Over 95% of dental fillings completed with Solea lasers are performed without anesthetics.

Lasers make dental work more comfortable and relaxing because they allow our dentists to be much more precise, only eradicating or manipulating unhealthy areas and leaving the healthy tissue alone. This results in less swelling, less chance for infection and faster healing times. Lasers are also much quieter than conventional dental drills, which allows for a more relaxing, anxiety-free dental procedure.

Laser dentistry is not only safe, but oftentimes more precise and effective than using traditional dental drills. Dr. Kent Mosby has been specifically trained to administer laser dental procedures in Coeur d’Alene and is highly skilled in this area of dentistry. Laser dentistry helps to preserve healthy tissue and tooth structure more effectively than other tools. There is less bleeding and less chance of infection because of its precise results.

We use lasers to provide patients with quality periodontal treatment. When a patient suffers from disease in the gums, lasers can easily reach into the deep gum pockets to remove harmful bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue. This technique is incredibly more effective than traditional scale and root planing. There is no blood, little to no swelling and patients experience very little discomfort while their gum health is being restored.

Laser dentistry is a great option for patients. However, not all procedures can or should incorporate the use of lasers. If you are interested in the use of lasers for your dental needs, contact Advanced Family Dentistry. We can assess your current oral needs to determine whether you are right for this procedure.

At Advanced Family Dentistry in Coeur d’Alene, we put your oral health at the top of our list. That’s why we have taken the time to train all our staff on the state of the art technology of dental laser treatment. We understand that many patients often experience anxiety when they visit the dentist. The loud drills and pain that is associated with dental procedures is a big reason why many patients exhibit dental fear. However, lasers allow our team to calm our patients. The silence of our laser technology is calming and reassuring while its precision eliminates discomfort and painful healing times.
