Dr. Addleson is now using laser technology
that helps reduce risk of bacterial infection, preserve healthy tooth
structure, and is "smart" enough to discern tooth decay is now available to
patients who want a quick, painless trip to the dentist.
Using a device about the size of a pen that emits a tiny beam of light, the
dentist guides the laser over the tooth. The laser can "sense" the
difference between decay and healthy tooth structure. A laser of a different
type is used to eliminate decay. This laser minimizes damage to any of the
surrounding tooth structure. With laser treatment the patient feels no
discomfort during the procedure and frequently no anesthesia is necessary.
