Patients of all ages will appreciate having infected areas inside the teeth cleaned with a laser instead of picked clean with sharp instruments. The laser instantly eradicates the infection, allowing Dr. Fleming to proceed with placing a filling sooner.

If portions of your gum tissue are infected and unresponsive to treatment, Dr. Fleming may decide to remove them to prevent gum disease from spreading to other areas. He can do this easily with our laser technology.

Ever feel as if there’s too much gum tissue on your teeth? That’s called a “gummy smile,” and while not unhealthy, it can make you feel self-conscious. Dr. Fleming uses the laser to precisely trim away portions of gum tissue, maintaining the natural curved shape of the gums around the teeth and ensuring they’re a uniform height. Your teeth don’t get longer—they just look that way. In the end, you’ll have a balanced tooth-to-gum ratio that will never embarrass you.

Once placed, dental implants can take three months or more to fully integrate with your jawbone. When that healing process is complete, you’ll be ready to receive your final restorations. If you weren’t provided with temporaries, your gum tissue will have sealed over the implant sites to protect them. Dr. Fleming uses the laser to carefully clear away that tissue without using sharp instruments.

Veneers literally put an attractive new surface on your flawed teeth, allowing you to smile confidently for years. When it’s time to replace them, our laser technology makes the process simple and painless. The laser breaks down the bonding cement that keeps the veneer attached to the tooth. Dr. Fleming then removes the old veneer and puts a new one in its place.

If Dr. Fleming finds any unusual growths during an oral pathology exam, he can remove them using the laser, which will ensure that neighboring healthy tissue remains untouched. He’ll then send the tissue sample to a lab to be analyzed and report the results back to you.
