How Laser Dentistry Improves Your Experience

  • Reduced Discomfort – Lasers remove heat, pressure and vibration, allowing fillings and other treatments to be completed without injections.


  • Precise Treatment – The thin laser beam targets specific areas, making accurate incisions and preserving surrounding tissues.


  • Minimally Invasive – Eliminating accidental slips reduces trauma to gums and speeds recovery.


  • Less Bleeding – Lasers can coagulate tissue, reducing the need for gauze even during intensive procedures.


  • Applicable to Many Procedures – Lasers are used for fillings, veneers, crowns, implants, teeth whitening and gum disease treatment.


Patients appreciate the opportunity to receive necessary dental work in a less invasive and more comfortable way.

Laser Gum Surgery

Gum disease can cause gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if untreated. Traditional treatment often requires lifting the gums and scraping plaque, which can be uncomfortable.


Laser gum surgery offers a modern, minimally invasive alternative. Using advanced dental lasers, infected tissue and bacteria are removed without cutting or scraping, allowing gums to heal faster and more comfortably.


Benefits include:

  • Less bleeding and swelling
  • Minimal discomfort
  • Faster healing
  • Reduced risk of infection

Laser Teeth Whitening

If you're seeking a quick way to brighten your smile, in-office laser whitening may be the best option. The treatment uses a laser to activate a whitening gel, offering noticeable results in just one visit.


Benefits include:

  • Fast Results: Up to eight shades lighter in about an hour.
  • Immediate Effects: Ideal for upcoming events like job interviews, weddings, or vacations.
  • Safer and Faster: Works much quicker than home whitening trays, which can take weeks.
  • Professional Care: Performed under professional supervision for safety and effectiveness.
  • Minimal Sensitivity: Less risk of tooth sensitivity compared to home treatments.

"I've been a patient of Dr Savant for over 20 years. I first visited her when I moved to NYC and was looking for someone I could depend on and now I'm still visiting her twice a year for all my dental needs. My wife now is a patient and so are both our children (17 &19). She is always so friendly, a great communicator and continues to make our dental visits something we don't dread...and that's saying a LOT!!!!"

Laser Dentistry FAQ

  • What is laser dentistry?

    Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform various dental procedures. The laser acts as a cutting tool or vaporizer, allowing dentists to treat soft and hard tissue with precision. This advanced technology can be used for procedures such as cavity removal, gum reshaping, and teeth whitening, offering a less invasive and more comfortable experience.

  • Is laser dentistry safe?

    Yes, laser dentistry is very safe. The lasers used in dental procedures are highly controlled and precise, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue. Dentists undergo specialized training to ensure the safe and effective use of laser technology. Additionally, lasers can often reduce the need for anesthesia, making the procedure more comfortable.

  • What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

    Laser dentistry offers several advantages, including:


    • Reduced discomfort and faster healing time compared to traditional methods.

    • Reduced need for anesthesia, making some procedures more comfortable for patients.

  • Does laser dentistry hurt?

    Laser dentistry is generally less painful than traditional methods. Many patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.
