The Art of Laser Dentistry

No drills, no pain, germ-free laser treatment for your teeth and gums

Are you dental-phobic? Does the thought of oral surgery with scalpels and drills make you nervous? Laser dentistry is a high-tech approach to caring for your mouth, whereby lasers take the place of surgical scalpels for procedures, gum therapy, post-op healing and more. Whereby traditional scalpels and other cutting tools can increase the risk of infection, excessive bleeding and pain, Dr. Sun uses a variety of lasers - each tailored for a specific purpose. Laser dentistry provides an alternative to traditional dental procedures, resulting in an efficient and less invasive pain-minimizing dental experience. Lasers can even be used to promote fast healing for canker sores and herpes.

Serving a wide variety of applications, lasers can be used for aesthetic gum contouring, gum treatment for gingivitis and periodontal disease, apthous ulcers, frenectomies, biopsies, implant surgeries and more. Procedures are precisely performed and heal faster with less discomfort than traditional treatments. Surgeries can be done in a very clean and fairly bloodless field. Lasers have also been used to aid in faster and more efficient tooth whitening procedures.

Dr. Sun is a pioneer in the world of laser dentistry, having lectured on the topic across the country and having written on the matter in academia. Her specialties include usage of the following lasers:

· Argon – laser teeth whitening.

· Ultra Speed CO2 – soft tissue surgeries like implants, cosmetic gum contouring, frenectomies and other oral tissue surgeries.

· Dual Wavelength Surgical Argon – tooth whitening, soft tissue surgeries like gingivoplasty, frenectomy and biopsy; composite curing (reinforces and strengthens the tooth).

· Nd:YAG – soft tissue surgery like gingivoplasty, frenectomy and gingivectomy; bacteria reduction when treating gum disease.

· Er:YAG – removal of tooth decay and cavities, decontamination, frenectomy, crown lengthening and implant surgery.

· Perio Diode: gum treatment; soft tissue surgery like gingivoplasty.

· Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): biophotomodulation; treats canker sores, herpes, sore jaws, helps relieve post-op discomfort and promotes post-op healing.

· Diagnodent Laser – early detection of cavities.

· Cold Laser
