Laser Dentistry: What Can Be Treated?
Dr. Ayzin may recommend dental lasers for treating various oral health and cosmetic concerns, including:
- Cavity Detection – We use the Diagnodent® laser to detect tooth decay in its early stages before it becomes visible or painful. Early detection allows for conservative treatment and helps preserve tooth structure.
- Frenectomy – If you or your child has a tongue tie or lip tie, we can perform a frenectomy using a laser. This quick, minimally invasive procedure promotes faster healing and minimal discomfort.
- Gummy Smiles – Dr. Ayzin offers gum contouring to improve gummy smiles or correct irregular gum lines, enhancing the health and aesthetics of your smile.
- Tooth Decay Removal – In some cases, a dental laser can be used to remove tooth decay, providing a quieter, drill-free experience—an excellent option for patients with dental anxiety.
We also can remove any type of soft tissue lesions, which bothering the patient or interfereing with a normal function, such as cysts, fibromas, mucocele and such.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry offers several benefits for all patients, especially for those who:
- Experience dental anxiety
- Have a fear of needles and dental instruments
Dr. Ayzin can use dental lasers to treat both soft and hard tissues, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional oral surgery.
Advantages of Laser Dentistry:
- Targets intended tissue with minimal impact on surrounding teeth or gums
- Reduces bleeding, swelling, and discomfort
- Lowers infection risks (heat energy sterilizes bacteria)
- Promotes faster healing with minimal trauma
- Often eliminates the need for anesthesia, reducing post-treatment recovery time
Dr. Ayzin will discuss your concerns and treatment plan before your procedure to ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your visit. Your comfort is our top priority.

How Does Laser Dentistry Work?
Performed chairside, a dental laser uses heat energy to remove damaged, decayed, or excessive tissue.
- The laser functions as a cutting instrument, precisely vaporizing targeted tissue.
- At the same time, healthy tissue is preserved, while the laser’s heat energy coagulates blood vessels, reducing bleeding and promoting healing.
These before-and-after images show how laser dentistry can address tooth decay without the need for drilling, reducing the impact on the surrounding tooth structure.
