Not unlike medical surgeries that once required cuts and can now be done with a laser, many dental procedures can be completed without cutting tissue. When Dr. Angart uses the Biolase laser to perform your dental procedure, you will have a very different experience than you did with a traditional method of dental treatment. For example, in the case of treating a cavity, the laser more than likely eliminates the need for anesthesia to numb the mouth and you will no longer hear the sound of a high-pitched drill to fill the cavity. This means the procedure requires less time to complete, there is less inflammation, and you experience less discomfort and healing time. Patients who undergo treatment using a laser system will have less reason to be fearful or anxious about going to the dentist.
