Laser Treatments

Thanks to the cutting edge technology No More Drills. In the past cavities were removed with a drill and sometimes required a needle. While removing holes the drill causes cracks in the tooth, which can weaken it.

Due to the revolutionary technology holes can be prepared without pain, without the drill and without needles in most cases. Lasers can be used for a wide range of dental procedures.

These treatments include:

• Sensitive Teeth and Fluoride Treatments
• Root Canal Sterilization
• Gum Disease Treatments
• Surgical Procedures

Lasers

There are many benefits and advantages in the use of laser therapy. With laser surgery, there is a reduced need for local anesthesia, bleeding is minimized, swelling is controlled, and there is usually little, if any, postoperative discomfort.

Laser energy enhances the effect of tooth bleaching agents for a faster and more effective result. Natural looking restorative materials for teeth are more quickly cured to greater hardness. Lasers that remove tooth decay are fast and seldom require anesthesia. Lasers can sterilize root canals and periodontal pockets with increased patient comfort.

Dr. Malterud has devoted training time and expense to be able to bring you the many advantages of this exciting new technology.
