Laser
Dentistry

One component of oral health is the treatment of periodontal disease. We provide the most comprehensive, up to date approach in our periodontal therapy to obtain the very best possible success rates. We use a highly advanced soft-tissue diode laser to sterilize the infected areas and selectively remove infected tissue. Traditional periodontal therapies often requires cutting and stitching of the gums. Unfortunately, this results in the removal of both infected and healthy tissue. By using the laser, healthy tissue is left undisturbed and only the infected tissue is removed. With laser therapy, there is no scalpel, no bleeding, no stitches and no pain. The infection is removed from the gums and tissues of the mouth, leaving behind only healthy and stable gums and bone. This level of service is a testament to how deeply we care about the results we achieve for our patients. Benefits include:

• 24 hour recovery time
• Less time in dental chair
• Only takes two 2-hour visits
• Lowers risk of further health complications
• No cutting, no stitches
• Minimal discomfort
• Reduced risk of post-op infection
• Decreased sensitivity
• 98% of patients remain stable after five years
• No contraindications
• Little-to-no gum recession
• Regenerates Bone Tissue

A gummy smile can significantly compromise the symmetry and beauty of your smile. Crown lengthening is a safe method of correcting an uneven gum line and revealing more of each tooth for a bigger, brighter smile.

Fast treatment
Crown lengthening takes only one appointment, and requires a recovery time of just a few days to a couple of weeks.

Conservative treatment
Removing even very small amounts of tissue can achieve striking effects.

Minimal Risk
Laser gingivectomy reduces the already low risk of side effects, shortens recovery time, and eliminates the need for sutures.

Dark pigmentation around the gums is caused by melanin in the body.

The use of a dental laser to remove the dark pigmentation on the gums is the easiest and least invasive way to go. The laser allows patients to receive the dark pigmentation removal treatment at the convenience of our dental office with minimal discomfort and great results.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus which lays dormant in the body. During times of stress or other triggering factors, the virus awakens and leads to cold sores on the lips and around the areas of the mouth. We know how painful and embarrassing cold sore outbreaks can be. We can treat your cold sores with our highly advanced laser. If you feel a cold sore coming on or already have an active cold sore, we can use the laser to sterilize the area and kill the virus before it erupts and turns into a full blown attack.

Laser cold sore treatment only takes about 5 minutes. It kills the virus and calms the pain and itching associated with the outbreak. In many cases, the cold sore will never even develop after it has been treated with the laser. So if you feel a cold sore coming on or have one that has already erupted, don’t wait any longer, call Coliseum Dental to get your laser treatment and get back to living your life without discomfort or embarrassment.

Biopsies can be painlessly performed with the laser. There is no cutting with a scalpel, no stitches, and no bleeding involved. Healing time is very fast and there is typically no scar formation, It is a truly amazing advancement.
