Comfortable, Precise, and High-Tech Dental Care
You don’t need to “grin and bear it” when it comes to dental treatment. At my Sandy Springs practice, I use advanced laser technology to make your care more comfortable, precise, and effective. With laser dentistry, I can treat everything from gum reshaping to root canal therapy — often with less pain, less bleeding, and faster healing.
I’ve dedicated my career to combining science and technology for the best possible patient experience. With lasers, I can provide cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry treatments that protect your oral health while keeping you comfortable.
How I Use Dental Lasers
Dental lasers are versatile tools that let me treat your teeth and gums with incredible accuracy. Compared to traditional drills and scalpels, lasers are less invasive, preserve more of your natural tooth, and speed up recovery.
Here’s how I use them:
- Decay removal & old fillings – precisely treat cavities with minimal drilling.
- Cosmetic gum contouring – reshape uneven gumlines for a balanced smile.
- Reducing sensitivity – seal tubules that cause tooth sensitivity.
- Crown lengthening & bone shaping – prepare teeth more precisely.
- Oral surgery – make extractions and implant placement smoother with less bleeding.
- Relieve jaw pain and Ulcers-with Low Level Laser Therapy that helps healing with increased oxygen and decreasing pain producing chemicals
- Rejuvenating collagen to firm tissues that affect breathing (Nightlase) and the appearance around your lips (Liplase)
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Patients love the results we achieve with dental lasers. Some of the biggest benefits include:
- Greater comfort – less need for drills or needles.
- Faster healing – minimal bleeding and fewer stitches required.
- High precision – targeted treatment protects surrounding healthy tissue.
- Lower infection risk – lasers sterilize as they work.
Gum Contouring with Dental Lasers
If you’re unhappy with a “gummy smile” or uneven gumline, I can reshape your gums with laser precision. Gum contouring removes excess tissue gently, with little to no discomfort, no stitches, and faster healing compared to traditional methods.
During a consultation, I’ll examine your gums and teeth, discuss your cosmetic goals, and let you know if gum contouring is right for you.
