LASER

Dr. Bullock uses several different lasers to accomplish a variety of procedures. A diagnostic laser helps to diagnose both smooth surface and pit and fissure cavities much sooner than conventional techniques. Earlier detection and treatment conserves tooth structure, simplifies treatment and saves the patient time and money.

Dr. Bullock offers sealants to prevent pit and fissure cavities from occurring. They are especially useful in children's molar teeth. Lasers allow painless, shot-free, minimally invasive dentistry. Lasers enhance bonding procedures by creating an ideal roughened surface of the enamel to which the white filling can bond. Lasers are an excellent choice for children because a shot-free, pain-free procedure reduces their anxiety. They are ideal for anyone to make their dental visit more comfortable and easy. Lasers assist in periodontal treatment by removing diseased tissue. Lasers have a bactericidal (bacterial killing) effect in the pocket.
