Laser Dentistry Scottsdale, AZ

In recent years, laser dentistry has superseded many traditional dentistry practices, making treatments more precise and less painful. This newer style of dentistry utilizes intense beams of light projected by a dental laser. Dental lasers can be used to perform a wide variety of treatments, including soft tissue shaping and removal.

The FDA deemed laser dentistry to be safe for public usage in 1990. Since then, many dentists have incorporated dental lasers into everyday procedures – reducing bleeding, anxiety and post-treatment recovery times. The beauty of dental lasers is that they damage far less of the surrounding tissue than traditional techniques – which means less discomfort and pain.

Here are some of the other benefits associated with laser dentistry:

Faster healing and tissue regeneration.
Preservation of more of the natural tooth.
Reduced bleeding during and after treatment.
Reduced need for anesthesia.
Reduced need for stitches and sutures.
Reduced risk of bacterial infections after procedures.

How can laser dentistry help me?

Laser dentistry is incredibly versatile and plays an important role in a growing number of common dental procedures. Though laser dentistry is most notably associated with cosmetic treatments, it is equally effective for preventative purposes.

Here are some of the ways that dental lasers can be used:

Reshaping soft tissue – Dental lasers can dissolve soft tissue to expose more of the natural tooth (crown lengthening), reshape soft tissue to make “gummy smiles” more attractive, and remove uncomfortable soft tissue folds caused by denture wear.
Frenectomy – Lasers can improve speech and the feeding habits of babies, children and adults by untying the tongue.
Tumor removal – When benign tumors have formed in the soft tissue areas of the mouth, a dental laser can completely remove them without causing pain.
Periodontal Disease - Laser is routinely used for Bacterial reduction in your gum pockets to achieve healthy tissue and bone.

How are laser procedures performed?

Different types of dental laser have been created to treat different conditions. Each laser uses a different wavelength of light, which predicates its best use. The most common types of dental laser are carbon dioxide lasers and diode lasers, which are usually employed to treat soft tissue problems. The dentist will decide which type of laser is best to use after conducting X-rays and a thorough examination.

The laser beam is extremely bright, and special glasses will be provided to protect the eyes. The dentist will then direct the beam at the affected area and carefully dissolve the soft tissue, harden the filling or whiten the teeth.

The procedure will take far less time than conventional methods, and cause far less anxiety and discomfort. The only real disadvantage of laser dentistry is that it can prove to be more expensive.

If you have questions or concerns about laser dentistry, please ask your dentist.

After a dental accident, I’ve had four root canals done this year at Belmont Dentistry and could not have been happier. Dr. Sandhu is a total pro: he works quickly and makes what can be a sometimes awkward situation very comfortable for the patient. The pain during and after these fairly major surgeries has been *minimal*. His assistant Sierra’s kindness and expertise made everything go very smoothly. Cannot recommend this practice enough.

Quick, very experienced group, very nice. If in your insurance network definitely a go to. Although I don't recommend going without insurance because costs can be quite high for some services out of pocket if you don't have coverage. In house coverage is available at your discretion to help reduce uncovered costs at a annual renewal premium.

I am a first time patient, my sons (5 and 6 years old) and I just had our first appointment with Belmont Dentistry yesterday. I could not rave highly enough about the entire staff ( literally as you walk in...from the front desk admins to the dental assistants) and the owners. Everyone was so friendly and personable and all around good people. The ambience of the office is just divine and makes you feel like your at a spa! They even give you a tour of the facility and show you all the "high tech" dental stuff that I have no idea the names of, but it was really cool! And to top it all off they give you a cute little gift bag after the tour with all sorts of fun goodies for being a first time patient! Now onto the exam... this was my children's first time ever seeing a dentist and getting a cleaning done (My oldest just lost his first tooth this year). The staff who worked on them did an amazing job! They were very patient and understanding and it helped a lot that the owners have young children themselves. My kids weren't sacred and didn't cry at all. I was also was very happy with my cleaning and signed up for Invisalign! I've always wanted to fix my teeth but never found the time. Dr. Ambreen walked me through the process of Invisalign and was so helpful answering all of my questions. So overall 5 STARS and a big THANK YOU to everyone there! :)
