Laser Dentistry

Do probes, drills, and other dental instruments deter you from receiving much-needed dental care for your teeth?

Laser dentistry offers enhanced comfort and peace of mind during your procedure while tackling the concerns plaguing your teeth.

Prosthodontic dentist ​Ace Jovanovski uses lasers to assist and enhance dentistry procedures at our Round Rock, TX, office. 

What Is Laser Dentistry?

/

Laser dentistry uses focused light beams to remove or reshape oral tissues in many dental procedures, including gum treatments, cavity removal, and more. Dentists first began using lasers in 1985 to assist with periodontal surgery.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Reduced Anxiety

Laser technology helps minimize patient discomfort and anxiety while providing effective treatment. It eliminates the need for more intimidating dental tools like drills and scalpels, offering a more comfortable experience for patients.

Bacterial Reduction

Lasers reduce mouth bacteria by targeting and damaging bacterial cells, improving oral health and reducing your chance of infection from your dental procedure. Reduced chances of infection can help promote better healing outcomes. 

Less Bleeding

Laser technology can help stop bleeding during surgery by activating blood platelets, which seal blood vessels. This means less need for stitches. Some lasers can even join tissue edges together, reducing the need for stitches even more.

Reduced Swelling

In a process called "photocoagulation," laser treatment reduces swelling by sealing lymphatic vessels, which stops excess fluid from building up. This leads to less fluid accumulation after treatment and, consequently, reduced swelling.

Concerns Lasers Can Treat The Power of Lasers in Dentistry

Lasers used in dentistry can have amazing benefits and can treat a variety of concerns, both cosmetic and restorative. Prosthodontic dentist Dr. Ace uses lasers at our Round Rock, TX, office to treat the following and more:

Gum Disease

Soft tissue lasers can remove infected gum tissue and aid in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Gummy Smiles

Soft tissue lasers can remove excess gum tissue to improve the aesthetics of a "gummy smile."

Crown Lengthening

Laser dentistry can reshape gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth's surface.

Dental Fillings

Hard tissue lasers can be used for shaping and preparation of the teeth for fillings.

Tooth Decay Removal

Hard tissue lasers can precisely remove decay on a tooth, reducing the need for traditional drilling.

Teeth Whitening

Hard tissue lasers are used in teeth whitening procedures to activate whitening agents and expedite the process.

Assist With a Diagnosis

Hard tissue lasers can be used for the removal of small tissue samples for biopsy and diagnosis of oral lesions.

I've been going to Dr Ace for about 3 years now. I am a transplant to the area so Dr Ace and team picked me up with somebody else having done the work. I wish I had lived in Austin years ago and known about Dr Ace.
