Gone are the days of painful shots, noisy drills, and uncomfortable numbing medications that have long been associated with a trip to the dentist. We have entered a new era of laser dentistry, and our practice serving Virginia, Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas is excited to introduce patients to all that this new technology can do. The laser procedures that our dentist offers patients at his Virginia office range from tooth whitening to gum reshaping.
Most of our laser dentistry patients in Virginia and the Washington, D.C., area experience no pain. Additionally, laser dentistry is self-sterilizing, which results in minimal bleeding (if any at all). During your consultation with laser dentist Ryan Schwendiman, D.M.D., at his Virginia office, these benefits can be explained in more detail.
In addition to eliminating the much-feared shots used to numb areas of the mouth in preparation for treatment, laser dentistry is gentler on your teeth. When used in place of a dental drill, lasers usually require that less tissue be removed. Conventional drills simply do not provide the precise tissue removal results that lasers give us. (Plus, a drill's resulting vibration can cause teeth to crack or chip – which is not an issue with laser dentistry.) We want our Washington, D.C., and Virginia patients to keep as much of their own healthy tissue as possible, and these impressive new tools bring us closer to that goal.
Dr. Ryan Schwendiman, D.M.D., a trained laser dentist based in Great Falls, Virginia, is prepared to offer you a virtually pain-free experience with laser dentistry. Those in nearby Washington, D.C., can also take advantage of the skills offered by our laser dentist, among a select group of Virginia dentists with the skill and equipment required to offer cutting-edge options such as Waterlase® MD and laser-assisted teeth whitening.
An extremely valuable piece of equipment at our practice, the Waterlase® MD laser was designed as a versatile and comfortable tool that can remove tooth decay, re-contour soft gum tissue, cut through bone tissue, and prep a tooth for treatment. The Waterlase® MD technology employs both laser light and water to gently and precisely remove tissue without the heat, vibration, and resulting discomfort that the patient must endure when a traditional dentist's drill is used.
Many of us feel that our smiles are most striking when our teeth look especially white. Unfortunately, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and tobacco can leave ugly stains on our teeth. The tooth bleaching procedures (some of which use elements of laser dentistry) performed by our dentist in Virginia can give you the bright smile you have always wanted.
