Laser Dentistry

At Norwich Aesthetic Dentistry, we use laser dentistry in many ways, replacing traditional surgery requiring a scalpel and stitches. This means higher accuracy, shorter healing times, no bleeding, and perhaps most important to our patients – minimal discomfort. Laser dentistry makes your surgical treatment much less invasive.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are what our clients typically inquire about when it comes to the Laser Dentistry

Can Dental Lasers do everything?

While laser dentistry is truly amazing, lasers can’t remove old silver fillings or crowns with metal inside. Even though the Fotona Lightwalker is fast enough to shape a tooth for a veneer or crown, it can’t create the smooth surface required. A drill is still superior for those procedures.

Is Laser Dentistry painful?

The precise way that dental lasers work, makes them virtually pain-free. That’s one of the many reasons that both Dr. Yates and his patients prefer laser dentistry.

Is Laser Dentistry more expensive than conventional methods?

At Norwich Aesthetic Dentistry, there’s no difference in fees, whether Dr. Yates uses a laser or drill. Patients love the many benefits of laser dentistry, and because it is simply superior dental care, Dr. Yates ensures everyone who can, benefits from it. He invested in this advanced technology to provide the best dental care possible. He enjoys improved patient experience as much as you do.
