Laser Dentist

Laser dentistry is a new exciting dental technology that allows Dr. Ruby to perform many dental procedures while providing you the best sense of comfort.

At Dr. Ruby general dental practice, we deploy four different types of dental lasers in the care of our patients. All dental lasers are comfortable and elevate the quality of care we give to our patients. We are trained and certified to use these instruments.

Dr. Ruby laser dentistry techniques are free of annoying drilling sounds. As a result, patients report a dental experience that is both relaxing and comfortable while the dental laser is in use.

Diode “cold” Soft Tissue Dental Laser

Our dental hygienists can use the diode “cold” dental laser to help treat various forms of gum disease. The diode dental laser is a cold laser and is very comfortable for patients. It is used to kill the bacteria in the deepest areas (pockets) of the gums. The added benefit is that at the “cold” setting, the diode causes an effect that enhances the healing process of infected gums by improving circulation in the blood vessels of the site.

This is a benefit that antibiotics and mouth rinses cannot accomplish by themselves.

Diode Surgical Dental Laser

We perform many surgical dental procedures in our office including: dental biopsies, cosmetic gum surgery, and dental implant surgery. The Surgical Laser helps in all these procedures and is valuable due to its comfort to the patient and faster (accelerated) healing time.

3D Dental Laser Scanner

This instrument allows us to fabricate same day crowns for our patients. The Laser Scanner takes a highly accurate 3D picture of the tooth needing treatment. Through a high tech dental computer, we design and fabricate a very strong dental porcelain crown or onlay that can be cemented or bonded on the patient’s tooth the same day. This eliminates the need for a temporary and a second follow up visit weeks later to get the final restoration seated.
