BIOLASE is a sophisticated and highly-advanced treatment in today’s dental industry. It involves the use of patented technology, combining focused light energy with a stream of water to provide a gentler and more precise dental experience. The distinctive technology behind the BIOLASE system enables it to cut through soft gum tissue or even hard bone tissue with minimal vibration or pressure.

BIOLASE is an attractive treatment type for many patients, and it includes such perks as:

1. Faster healing time and less trauma to teeth and gums than many other dental procedures
2. Minimal anesthetics
3. Treating multiple dental needs in one visit.
4. Being an overall more relaxing dental experience.

BIOLASE can contour or shape your gums using, improving the appearance of your smile. It does so by safely removing excess gum tissue that may give you a “gummy” smile, or make your front teeth appear irregular in size or shape.

Additionally, BIOLASE can quickly and safely remove growths or excess tissue in your mouth. Some of these include the removal of gum tissue over an unerupted tooth, growths called fibromas, and small “tags” called papilla.

Often, procedures that fix tongue or gum issues result in a lot of mouth pain. However, through the use of BIOLASE, we can “release” connections that restrict the movement of your tongue or cause your gums to recede, with significantly reduced post-operative pain.

Along with all those treatments, BIOLASE can also help combat gum disease. Using BIOLASE, it is possible to efficiently remove debris and bacteria between your teeth and gums that can cause bleeding gums, gum recession and even loss of teeth. If your gum disease is at a moderate or high level, ask your doctor about minimally invasive periodontal treatment.

Finally, our BIOLASE iPlus laser is able to perform other procedures that could benefit you. Make sure you ask about what types of BIOLASE procedures we are currently offering!

By now, you probably get the idea that BIOLASE is a multifaceted method of treatment. But what makes it so much better than other dental treatment types?

1. Comfort. BIOLASE’s use of laser energy and a gentle spray of water allows us to perform dental procedures without the heat, vibration and pressure associated with the dental drill. It’s often possible to use less anesthetic that one would with a “regular” dental procedure, and in some cases, there is no anesthetic needed at all.
2. Precision.A BIOLASE dentist can remove tooth decay and debris far more precisely than the drill. This saves more of the healthy parts of your tooth and avoids micro-fractures that the friction of a drill can cause.  Saving your natural teeth– as opposed to getting dentures or implants– has many health benefits; some studies have even shown that people with natural teeth live longer. With BIOLASE, the likelihood of preserving your natural teeth is higher than with traditional dentistry methods– and what’s not to love about that?
3. Convenience. With BIOLASE, it’s less likely that you’ll need an injection, so you can get in and out of the dentist’s chair faster. Also, by not using anesthetic, dentists can perform procedures that used to require more than one visit in a single appointment. And the best part is that with BIOLASE, dentists can now perform procedures that once meant an additional trip to a specialist. This saves you even more time and eliminates the nightmare of scheduling multiple appointments in different places!
