Our Laser Dentistry Options at Gina Morad, DMD in Redwood City

We offer two specialized dental lasers: standard hard tissue and soft tissue lasers. Laser dentistry is typically split into two subcategories: hard tissue, which consists of teeth treatments, and soft tissue, which consists of treatments related to the gums. The hard tissue lasers can cut through the tooth bone and are most commonly used to shape the teeth for dental fillings or composite bonding.
‍
Soft tissue lasers are often used to treat periodontitis. They seal nerve endings and blood vessels but are also able to deeply penetrate the tissue which absolves the patient of any pain and promotes faster healing.

what is a dIAGNOdent laser? 

This is the hard tissue laser that can detect early-stage cavities painlessly without removing large chunks of tooth enamel later on. The laser kills bacteria within cavities which contributes to long-term tooth health. This eliminates the need for anesthesia and dental drills.

how do laser treatments works? 

Soft tissue lasers consist of a laser beam that is absorbed by water and hemoglobin to remove soft tissue while cauterizing the cut to reduce inflammation and bleeding. The wavelengths of hard tissue lasers are absorbed by water and a mineral in the teeth. The laser measures internal fluorescence which can indicate tooth decay. Hard tissue lasers can cut through the teeth to reshape them.
