Laser Dentistry

Gums, root canals, surgery, implants, whitening. Dr. Patel uses a laser in almost every area of care: the Biolase Waterlase on teeth, gums and bone, and the Epic diode on soft tissue. Where it fits, there is usually little bleeding and often no stitches. He will tell you whether the laser suits your treatment.

    About gum therapy
  3. Laser-assisted root canals

    Every root canal Dr. Patel does is laser-assisted: the infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the laser cleans and disinfects the canals before they are sealed.

    About root canals
  4. Laser-assisted surgery

    Some gum and bone surgery is done with the Waterlase or diode laser in place of a scalpel or drill. Dr. Patel will tell you whether it fits your procedure.

    About oral surgery
  5. Implant problems (peri-implantitis)

  8. The lasers

    The Biolase Waterlase uses laser energy with water on hard and soft tissue: teeth, gums and bone, and the tissue around implants. It is the laser Dr. Patel uses most, alongside the Epic diode for soft tissue.
