Laser Dentistry In Bethesda

Laser dentistry in Bethesda is now just minutes away from your home. This new dental technology has revolutionized oral surgery, tooth preparation, and many other procedures. At Dentistry of Bethesda, Dr. Hornstein uses both a soft- and hard-tissue lasers for optimal patient comfort and precise clinical applications. This technology is used for:

Preparing teeth for fillings, veneers, and crowns

• Sculping teeth or gums for a more pleasing appearance
• Bone and gum grafting
• Periodontal therapy
• Frenectomies
• Cold sore treatment
• Biopsies
• Cavity detection

Our hard tissue laser works on teeth and bone. With laser tooth preparation, many patients do not even require anesthesia. These lasers emit no heat, vibration, or smoke, which are the main causes of discomfort from a traditional dental drill. Furthermore, because this type of dentistry is so precise, Dr. Hornstein can keep more natural tooth structure intact.

Soft tissue lasers are used for gum and skin tissue, and it can remove periodontal infection from pockets. The laser promotes fast reattachment of gums to teeth and seals skin as it moves along, so this minimally invasive therapy causes less trauma and pain than traditional surgery. As a result, healing time is much faster. In procedures where gum tissue is removed, no sutures are required.

We are conveniently located in Wildwood Medical Center. If you require laser dentistry in Bethesda or any of the surrounding areas, call our office to make your appointment with Dr. Hornstein at Dentistry of Bethesda today!
