Laser Dentistry in Shrewsbury
At ShrewsburyDental Associates, we understand that many patients feel anxious about traditional dental drills. That’s why our team offers soft-tissue laser dentistry as a modern, comfortable alternative. It's painless and faster than traditional drills, using high-powered laser technology to get you smiling bright again.
Why Is Laser Dentistry Recommended?
Laser dentistry can be used to treat a variety of dental concerns involving soft tissue. In some cases, lasers help remove decayed areas, reshape tissue, or prepare teeth for treatments such as crowns or bridges.
For certain surgical procedures, lasers can also treat gum tissue with more precision than traditional instruments. This often means less trauma to the gums and improved comfort during the procedure.
Am I a Candidate for Laser Dentistry?
Many patients can benefit from laser dentistry. Because laser treatment is often very gentle, some procedures may require little to no anesthetic. Both adults and children visiting our Shrewsbury dental office may be candidates for this modern approach to care.
During your visit, Dr. Kaplan or Dr.Krishnan will perform a thorough examination and determine whether laser dentistry is the right option for your treatment plan. Our team will explain your options and answer any questions you may have.
What to Expect During Laser Dentistry
Once you're seated in the treatment area, the procedure will be explained, and any necessary numbing will be discussed. A small handheld device is used to deliver the laser energy precisely where treatment is needed.
You'll find that the procedure goes faster and smoother than ever before! If you think you may benefit from laser dentistry, contact Shrewsbury Dental Associates today to schedule a consultation with our experienced team—bringing the latest dental technology close to home.
