Laser Treatment

Here are some of the laser dentistry services we offer at Eagle Family Smiles

• Lesion Removal: Instead of using a scalpel to remove a lesion, we use a dental laser. This procedure cauterizes as it cuts, resulting in less bleeding and pain, and making it an effective treatment for the removal of viral lesions.
• Esthetic Crown Lengthening: Our soft tissue laser is a great asset for removing excess tissue and level the gingiva to make a tooth more restorable and more esthetic.
• Gingivectomy: We use our laser to remove tissue for cosmetic reasons, such as placing dental veneers, or for restorative reasons, such as when decay is under the gum line.
• Tooth Exposure for Orthodontics: Using a dental laser, we surgically intervene when a tooth is behind other teeth or has too much tissue around it to erupt properly. This procedure cauterizes while working and makes a cleaner field.
• Frenectomy: A dental laser is a great tool for removing frenums when needed, offering minimal bleeding and less pain after the procedure.
• Treatment of Cold Sore and Apthous Ulcer: We offer treatment for cold sores to our patients using our dental laser. This quick treatment stops cold sores at any stage and allows them to start healing. We also offer this treatment for aphtous ulcers.

The cost of dental laser therapy at Eagle Family Smiles will depend on the type of treatment you require and the type of sedation needed. The cost of your procedure will also depend on your insurance coverage. We offer a consultation to determine the best treatment for your needs, and our team will work with you to help you understand your insurance benefits. For patients without dental insurance, we also offer an In-office Dental Insurance Plan with discounted rates for various services.

Your dental or medical insurance, or both, may cover your dental laser therapy depending on the reason for your gum treatment. We recommend contacting your insurance company to discuss your benefits.

No, dental lasers are not harmful when used properly. As an expert dentist in Chester Springs, Dr. Makani adheres to strict guidelines on the use of various wavelengths and power levels to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for our patients. Our experienced team is led by him as he has remained an expert in laser treatments.

Following dental laser therapy, it is essential to adhere to the oral home care regimen recommended by our dental team to maintain a clean mouth and promote effective healing. After laser gum surgery, blood clots can form, and it is essential not to dislodge them as they are an integral part of the healing process. We will provide you with post-treatment instructions, including brushing and flossing, to ensure the best outcome.

Dental lasers have some limitations, including not being able to treat teeth with fillings, cavities between teeth, or extensively decayed teeth. Additionally, lasers are unable to remove damaged crowns or bridges. At Eagle Family Smiles, we will recommend the best treatment options for your specific needs, whether it involves laser technology or traditional treatments.
