Laser Dentistry

Fortunately, Brian “The Smile Doctor” Tavoian, DDS, uses modern dental lasers to diagnose and treat various concerns plaguing his patients’ teeth.
Discover how the team at our Cedar City, UT, practice can help you get the care you need more easily with laser dentistry.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Our team in Cedar City, Utah, uses focused light beams to address gum disease, teeth with cavities, and other dental concerns. Instead of dental drills, scalpels, and other traditional tools, we can use soft tissue and hard tissue lasers to make for a better dental experience for our patients.
Which Treatments Involve Laser Dentistry?
Our skilled dentist uses laser dentistry for several procedures, including:
Periodontal Therapy
A laser can reduce periodontal pocket depths and sterilize tissue to promote better healing.
Root Canal Treatment
Laser can be used in root canal therapy to clean the root canals more effectively.
Cosmetic Procedures
We use lasers to precisely remove unwanted gum tissue, prep teeth for veneers, and perform teeth whitening.
Cavities
Lasers can remove infected portions of a tooth with pinpoint accuracy before we place a filling.
Crowns and Dentures Prep
We use lasers to best prepare the gums for dental implants and tooth restorations.
