If you avoid important dental procedures because you’re worried about the pain and discomfort you may experience, don’t worry. Dalton Dental takes advantage of advances in modern dental technology to offer dental procedures that are less invasive, less painful, and faster to heal through laser dentistry.
Laser dentistry can remove tooth decay, reshape the gums, ease the pain of canker sores, treat infections, whiten teeth, and more. Oftentimes, there is no need for anesthesia, and the patient experiences little to no pain at all, making it the perfect option for patients who experience dental anxiety.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry in Tampa is done through the use of highly focused and skinny beams of light energy in dental procedures. The highly concentrated beam can replace traditional dental drills, reducing the pain and healing time required.

- Anesthesia is not always necessary
- Reduced risk of infection

Get Periodontal Laser Therapy in Tampa, FL
Laser dentistry can treat periodontitis, otherwise known as gum disease. Gum disease can cause several issues with oral health, including swollen and tender gums, painful chewing, bad breath, a receding gum line, tooth sensitivity, and tooth loss. Periodontitis has even been connected to more serious health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
In periodontal laser therapy, your dentist will remove inflamed gum tissue surrounding the tooth’s root to perform a procedure known as root scaling. Root scaling involves removing gum disease-causing plaque and tartar from below the gum line to allow the infected gums to heal. With the use of dental lasers, the process of treating periodontitis is much less painful and more precise. So, no anesthetic is typically required, and recovery periods are much shorter. Call us or visit our Tampa, FL, office today to learn more about the available periodontal laser treatments.
