Laser Dentistry in Vista, CA

What Is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses concentrated light energy to remove, reshape, or treat oral tissue. This modern technique is safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective for a wide range of procedures.

At Civic Dental, we use the Biolase Waterlase — a state-of-the-art dental laser that combines laser energy with water spray to treat teeth and gums gently and precisely.

Benefits of laser dentistry include:

• Little to no anesthesia needed
  
• Reduced discomfort during and after treatment
  
• Minimal bleeding and swelling
  
• Faster healing and tissue regeneration
  
• Lower risk of infection
  
• Quieter, drill-free experience
  

What Can We Treat with Lasers?

Laser dentistry can be used in a variety of procedures, including:

• Gum reshaping (cosmetic and functional)
  
• Gingivitis and periodontal therapy
  
• Treatment of cold sores and canker sores
  
• Frenectomies for tongue-tie or lip-tie
  
• Decay removal and cavity preparation
  
• Tooth sensitivity treatment
  
• Teeth whitening activation

We also use lasers to assist with minimally invasive root canal therapy and to enhance outcomes in Smile Makeovers.

Biolase Waterlase: A Better Patient Experience

The Waterlase system uses a combination of water, air, and laser energy to perform procedures that would otherwise require a dental drill or scalpel. Patients love it for:

• Virtually painless treatment
  
• Shorter appointments
  
• No vibrations, pressure, or heat
  
• Less need for needles or numbness
  
• Enhanced precision for preserving healthy tissue
  

It’s ideal for both adults and children and is especially helpful for anxious patients or those with a strong gag reflex.

Why Choose Laser Dentistry?

Laser technology offers several advantages over traditional methods:

• Improved comfort: Most patients feel minimal to no discomfort during laser procedures.
  
• Less downtime: Healing is faster thanks to less tissue trauma and stimulation of natural regeneration.
  
• More precision: Lasers target only the affected area, preserving more healthy tooth or gum tissue.
  
• Versatility: From restorative to cosmetic to periodontal procedures, lasers enhance nearly every aspect of dental care.
  

If you’re nervous about dental visits or have experienced painful treatments in the past, laser dentistry may change how you feel about oral care.
