Laser Dentistry Can Enhance Traditional Methods

In many cases, laser dentistry is used in conjunction with traditional dental procedures. Lasers frequently augment conventional techniques, making them safer and more effective.

Gummy Smiles & Cold Sores

Laser gum recontouring is another treatment that allows dentists to do minor recontouring of gums . Lasers can also be used to treat cold sores and canker sores with no anaesthesia, providing immediate relief.

Laser dentistry is one of the newest developments in the dental field. We also offer other types of lasers and laser procedures. Some lasers are used to assess and diagnose dental problems, while others are used to treat complex dental issues.

Cornell Dental Centre utilizes a DIAGNOdent Caries Detector in conjunction with CariVu! This device will allow Dr. Weerasinghe to measure the change in tooth structure, caused by cavities. It is especially useful for the fissure areas of the tooth.

CariVu is an infrared device that shines light into a tooth and highlights cavities in plain view that can be captured on digital film. It is highly accurate at diagnosing cavities and their progression inside a tooth while never exposing patients to radiation!

Another useful tool is our portable Spectrophotometer called Vita Easyshade, this will allow Dr. Weerasinghe acquire an accurate shade of a tooth so that he can fine tune how bright you want your new smile to be!”
