Dr. Violet Newman is proud to offer her patients Laser Therapy. Using the "Picasso" Diode Laser, she is able to offer her patients the a method that requires fewer shots, less anesthesia, thus reducing patient anxiety and providing a more relaxing overall dental experience.

What is Laser Therapy?

A laser is a high tech devise that generates a tiny beam of very concentrated light . This beam of light brings energy into your mouth through a tiny fiber, to help remove areas of infection and remove gum disease around the teeth with great precision and accuracy.

The laser beam sterilizes the affected area and seals off blood vessels, which minimizes the chance of infection or bleeding. Patients are also much more comfortable during and after treatment with laser therapy. The need for local anesthetic is reduced but it is usually used to make sure that you feel absolutely nothing during the treatment

What Procedures can be Performed?

At Lakeview Dental Centre our "Picasso" Laser is idea for performing a majority of Gum Tissue Removal procedures. It also has the ability to desensitize "canker" sores, herpetic lesions, and other oral irritations. Although many of these treatments are completed with no, or only topical anesthetic, we often number the area to ensure complete paitient comfort.
