What Is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses concentrated light energy to perform many hard and soft tissue procedures with exceptional precision. Unlike traditional dental instruments, dental lasers can target specific areas while minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy tissue. Depending on the procedure, this may result in less bleeding, reduced swelling, improved comfort, and faster healing.

At Smile Moore Dentistry, we use the advanced Fotona® laser system because it allows us to provide conservative, efficient care across a wide range of treatments. Whether you’re receiving periodontal therapy, oral surgery, or restorative care, laser dentistry helps us deliver modern treatment with your comfort in mind.
