Discover Your Perfect Smile with ezlase™ Dental Laser Technology – Now Available at Bennett Family Dentistry!

What is ezlase™?

ezlase™ is an advanced laser technology developed by BIOLASE Technology, the leader in dental lasers for over 20 years. The ezlase™ creates highly concentrated light energy to treat gum and other soft tissue in the mouth safely and comfortably. BIOLASE dental lasers have been used to treat millions of patients all over the world.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Bennett Family Dentistry offers ezlase™ laser dentistry to improve our patients’ comfort and provide better results for many common dental procedures. Using the ezlase™ laser treatment system, many procedures can be performed using only a topical anesthetic with little or no bleeding, decreased need for prescription medication, faster healing times and a reduced instance of post-operative pain.

Benefits Include:

Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding and swelling during soft tissue treatments.
Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.
Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.

Laser Dentistry Procedures

Improve Your Smile

The ezlase™ dental laser can be used to contour or shape your gums to improve the appearance of your smile – safely removing excess gum tissue that may give you a "gummy" smile, or make your front teeth appear irregular in size or shape.

Remove Oral Growths

ezlase™ can remove growths or excess tissue in your mouth such as gum tissue over an unerupted tooth, small "tags" called papilla, growths called fibromas, benign tumors, and others. ezlase™ is also perfect for the painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures.

Fix a "Tongue Tie" or Prevent Gum Recession

Connections that restrict the movement of your tongue or cause your gums to recede can be "released" with the ezlase™. This is an ideal treatment option for children who are tongue tied (restricted or tight frenulum) and babies unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement. A laser frenectomy may also help to eliminate speech impediments.

Treat or Prevent Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease)

One of our dentists or dental hygienists may recommend using the ezlase™ to remove debris and bacteria between your teeth and gums that can cause bleeding gums, gum recession and even loss of teeth. The laser is highly effective at killing bacteria and may even stimulate gum tissue growth.

Relieve the Pain of Cold Sores and Fever Blisters

The ezlase™ often provides immediate relief from painful cold sores and fever blisters. Additionally, dental laser treatment minimizes healing time.
