If you’ve been putting off dental treatment because of anxiety, fear of drills, or worry about recovery time, laser dentistry may be the solution for you. At Sconzo & Sciascia General, Cosmetic, and Family Dentistry, we use advanced dental lasers to perform a variety of treatments with greater comfort, precision, and faster healing times.
Laser dentistry uses focused beams of light energy to treat oral tissues. Unlike traditional drills or scalpels, lasers can cut, vaporize, or reshape soft and hard tissue with incredible accuracy — often with less bleeding, swelling, or discomfort.
Lasers are also used in cosmetic treatments like professional teeth whitening, giving patients faster, more effective results.
We use two main types of lasers, each designed for different purposes:
Soft tissue lasers – For procedures involving gums and other soft tissues. They cauterize as they cut, reducing bleeding and speeding healing.
Hard tissue lasers – For procedures involving teeth or bone. These are highly precise, making it possible to remove decay or reshape tooth structure without drills.
At our Brooklyn practice, laser dentistry is used for both restorative and cosmetic care, including:
Gum disease treatment – Removes infected tissue while reducing bacterial spread.
Gingivectomy – Reshapes or removes excess gum tissue, either for health or aesthetics.
Cavity detection and treatment – Finds decay early and removes it precisely.
Tooth sensitivity treatment – Seals small tubules in teeth to reduce sensitivity.
Root canal therapy – Cleans and disinfects root canals with less risk of re-infection.
Teeth whitening – Activates whitening agents for brighter results in less time.
Hardening tooth-colored fillings – Speeds up curing for a strong, natural finish.
Yes. Laser dentistry is a safe and FDA-approved method used in many dental practices. Our dentists are trained in advanced laser techniques to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
Most patients report little to no pain during laser procedures. Because lasers can cauterize as they work, there is usually less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional methods.
Laser dentistry can be used for gum disease treatment, cavity detection, root canals, teeth whitening, hypersensitivity treatment, gingivectomies, and more.
