Laser dentistry

Laser technology has revolutionized the field of healthcare. Dr. Spees has used lasers extensively in this practice since 1998. We now have five dental lasers in use.

The newest and most significant of our lasers are the DeLight™ Erbium Hard Tissue Laser and the PowerLase™ Nd:YAG Soft Tissue Laser.

Shots and drills are the most common cause of dental anxiety. By using the erbium laser, Dr. Spees is able to remove decay quickly and painlessly without anesthetic or drilling in many cases. This is especially important when working with children as it may prevent the development of dental anxiety and set the stage for a lifetime of good dental health.

For patients who suffer from periodontal disease, Laser SoftCare™ Periodontal Therapy using the Nd:YAG laser offers an alternative to traditional surgery, with the ability to sterilize the disease causing bacteria. Laser SoftCare™ has become a very popular treatment alternative for this chronic degenerative disease.

More extensive information on laser dentistry is always available in the office. Just ask any team member.

Periodontal disease is the number one reason for tooth loss today. The American Dental Association estimates that as much as 80% of the adult population of the United States has some degree of periodontal infection. The overall health affects of this chronic infection are serious and not limited to tooth loss. The bacteria and inflammation of periodontal infection also endangers the health of your heart.
