Dr. Cortés also provides laser for other areas of dental treatment, including: gum lifts, root canal treatment and for ‘drill-free dentistry’.
Perio-Esthetic Laser Dentistry for GUM LIFTS
Perio-esthetic Laser Dentistry is the latest technology in the treatment of the soft tissue of the smile, incorporating the gingival aspects (or gum tissue) as an essential ingredient of smile design.
The gingival tissue in essence frames each individual tooth, helping to enhance the tooth and adding to the over-all appearance of your smile. If you have a ‘gummy smile’, uneven, swollen or angry red gums, this procedure could be an option for you. In effect the prettiest teeth shall not compensate for uneven, unhealthy, swollen and angry red gums.
Constructive and imaginative manipulation of the gum tissue can provide the necessary illusion to create the perfect smile when the anatomical aspects of the oral cavity and the face do not permit it. Laser is used to closely negotiate the curves and folds of the gingival tissue without having to cut and suture them. The laser allows for free flowing sculpting and description of soft tissue by using an ergonomic pen-like laser handgrip.
This is a painless and quick method of achieving an exact and precise design of gingival tissue that will match and enhance the smile, especially when incorporating new porcelain veneers to alter the smile.
Waterlase MD laser from Biolase for ‘DRILL-FREE DENTISTRY’ & ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Introducing the latest in drill-less dentistry. We now have the new Waterlase MD laser from Biolase, which is a patented laser made for drill-less dentistry. The Waterlase MD is a multi-use laser, as it can easily be used on soft tissue as well as hard tissue, including bone.
This revolutionary laser can easily be used in the removal of dental cavities without drilling if there are no metals or porcelains to cut through. The Waterlase laser is also the only laser on the market specifically made and patented for laser root canals. The latest in high-tech and alternative treatments to traditional root canals that use toxic and harsh chemicals to destroy infection; instead the Waterlase system uses hydrokinetic and photokinetic energy to destroy infection, leaving the tooth and ultimately the patient in a healthier condition.
