Laser Dental Procedures By Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead

Video Transcription

Dr. Greg Ceyhan, Glendale Dentist: “Hi, I’m Dr. Greg Ceyhan from Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead in Glendale, Arizona, and that’s in the Arrowhead area.

Lasers can be used for all kinds of procedures in dentistry. In my office, I have two types of lasers. I have what we call a Soft Tissue or a Diode laser. And I’ll use that to re-contour or reshape or remove little tissue tags or soft tissue that needs to be altered in some way. I also have another technology, it’s a laser. It’s kinda like a pen and I use that on the biting surfaces of teeth to determine if they have any cavities and it really is a great tool because I catch decay or cavities much sooner than I would the old-fashioned way, using the little hook that dentists have traditionally used. And I’ve found that by the time your hook is detecting that cavity, it’s already huge. So, the laser really catches it months to years before that is the case and we can treat it much sooner before it becomes a bigger problem.”
