LASER DENTISTRY
 Lasers are some of the most useful innovations in modern science, with a number of applications that make them indispensable in the modern dentist's office. From cosmetic to medical procedures, lasers play a role in sterilizing, reshaping, drilling, preventing infection, and detecting tooth decay and cavities.
Some of the most common applications of lasers in modern dentistry include:
Detection:
State-of-the-art laser probes can be used to detect infection or cavities within the tooth. This extremely accurate diagnosis requires no scraping or tissue damage to determine the state of tooth health or decay. Most patients find laser dentistry much more tolerable than regular dental procedures - it's faster, quieter, less painful, and presents a shorter recovery time in virtually every case. Eagle Creek provides laser dentistry services to maximize your comfort and convenience, while ensuring the best possible outcome in your dental procedures.

Gum reshaping:
Diode lasers are used in cosmetic dentistry and for other soft tissue procedures, including treatment of ulcers, growths, and lesions. They can also be used to purge pockets of infection, reveal implants, and reshape the gums. Because lasers leave a clean, bloodless incision, gums heal faster after treatment and with much less risk of infection.

Curing:
Lasers are used to "cure" or treat fillings and other restorative materials so they harden faster and are more durable.
|
Whitening:
Laser tooth whitening is a powerful way to remove stains of all kinds and improve the color and brightness of teeth.
|
Drilling:
Lasers can be used to clean out cavities and in place of drills during other procedures. They are faster, more precise, and create less heat and vibration in the course of treatment - which means less pain and tooth sensitivity
