Modern dental lasers allow us to deliver precise, comfortable care with minimal disruption to your day. At Strasburg Dental Group, we use laser technology for gentle gum therapy, aesthetic contouring, targeted lesion removal, and sensitivity relief—often with less anesthesia and faster healing.
Advantages of Laser Dentistry
Lasers can precisely target soft tissues, helping reduce bleeding and swelling during treatment. Because the beam sterilizes as it works, there’s typically less post-operative discomfort and a lower risk of bacterial contamination. Many procedures require little to no anesthesia, and most patients return to normal routines quickly.
Common Applications
We use lasers to reshape or contour the gumline for a more balanced smile, remove inflamed tissue during periodontal therapy, and address small lesions with excellent precision. Lasers also help desensitize exposed root surfaces and can be used to expose unerupted teeth or manage delicate tissue around implants and restorations.
Your Visit
Before any procedure, your dentists will review your goals, explain benefits and alternatives, and answer questions. We’ll tailor the laser settings to your needs, protect surrounding areas, and provide straightforward aftercare instructions. Many patients report a calm, quiet experience compared with traditional instruments.
Healing & Aftercare
Because laser energy helps seal nerve endings and blood vessels, you may notice less bleeding during and after treatment, along with a shorter recovery time. You’ll receive customized instructions for diet, oral hygiene, and activity, and we’ll schedule follow-up as needed to monitor healing.
