Denver area dentist uses a variety of laser technologies for best patient experience

Dr. Stewart and his team have transformed dental visits for the better. By using lasers in many different ways, from diagnosing to treating conditions, patients avoid the dreaded drill and anesthetic. This approach not only creates a more comfortable experience for South Lakewood Dental patients, but your laser dentist in Denver is able to deliver optimal treatment, often retaining a maximum amount of natural tooth structure.

Lasers: A healthy, gentle approach

Lasers produce an intense, narrow beam of light. The energy from that light is skillfully applied to remove, shape, and manipulate tissues. In addition to minimizing many sources of dental fear, laser dentistry speeds up healing and reduces risk of side effects like excessive bleeding, swelling, and pain associated with conventional methods of cutting.

Not all lasers are created the same, and not all dentists apply this technology to its fullest potential. South Lakewood Dental uses lasers as both diagnostic and treatment tools. DIAGNOdent® extends the dental team’s vision, so they can see hard-to-reach areas where cavities develop. Treatment can be provided early, before the damage becomes so significant only invasive and costly procedures will restore the tooth.

Not all dentists offer WaterLase® for safe, gentle, and effective treatment. The system combines laser energy, water, and air. The laser energy interacts with water molecules in the tooth to cut through hard structures. The built-in water spray keeps the tooth hydrated for your safety and comfort as the heat from the laser does its magic on hard structures.

To reshape soft tissues quickly and comfortably, Dr. Stewart and his team use ezlase™. The laser’s wavelength allows better absorption so ezlase cuts tissues efficiently at lower power with less heat.
