Laser Therapy
Gentle Laser Therapy
Innovative laser technology is changing the way modern dentistry is performed, allowing for a dental experience that is more comfortable and stress-free. At ARA Orthodontics, our office is equipped with a state-of-the-art diode laser. Dr. Rodriguez-Abrams uses the dental laser to gently and quickly treat ulcers, canker sores and minor lumps and bumps in the mouth. Laser therapy is also used to correct gum problems before or during orthodontic treatment, such as impacted teeth or excessive gum tissue that doesn't allow for proper bracket placement.

Working at the Speed of Light
The dental laser works by emitting light that delivers rapid pulses of heat energy to the treatment area with pinpoint accuracy. The laser sterilizes as it works and greatly reduces inflammation and bleeding. Plus, laser therapy results in far less discomfort after treatment when compared to traditional gum surgery.
