Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry replaces the drill and scalpel for many soft-tissue procedures — and the difference is dramatic. Lasers are quieter, more precise, and almost always result in less bleeding, less swelling, and faster healing than traditional methods.
We use lasers for gum contouring, treating cold sores and canker sores, removing tongue and lip ties, periodontal therapy, and even some cavity preparations. For many patients, laser treatment means little to no anesthetic and no stitches.
- Less bleeding, less swelling, faster healing
- Often no needles, no stitches, no drill
- Used for gum contouring, lip ties, and periodontal care
- Treatment of cold sores and canker sores in one visit
TMJ Treatment
If you wake up with a sore jaw, get headaches in your temples, or hear clicking or popping when you open your mouth, your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may be overworked. TMJ disorders are surprisingly common, and most cases are caused by clenching, grinding, or a bite that's even slightly out of balance.
We start with a careful jaw and bite assessment to find the underlying cause, then build a treatment plan around it. Most patients feel significant relief from a custom-made night guard alone, while others benefit from bite adjustments, physiotherapy referrals, or BOTOX therapy for persistent muscle tension.
- Careful TMJ and bite-balance assessment
- Custom-made night guards for clenching and grinding
- Bite adjustments to relieve joint stress
- Coordinated care with physiotherapists when needed
