Minimally Invasive Care without Scalpels

How Laser services Benefits You
More than providing comfortable and efficient treatments, our laser dentistry procedures have health and functional benefits as well, including:
- Cauterization of the site for improved healing
- More precise soft tissue contouring
- Minimal bleeding, swelling, and pain
- Preservation of healthy tissues and bone
- Reduced risk for post-procedural infection
FACIAL ESTHETICS
SmoothLase ™: SmoothLase uses the photothermal capabilities of the Lightwalker™ laser to initiate the formation of new collagen. Laser pulses are delivered in a pattern inside your mouth to your inner cheeks without damaging tissues. SmoothLase transforms sagging type 3 collagen back into firm and tight type 1 collagen and stimulates new collagen formation. This NATURALLY lifts and tightens the tissues, generally reversing the signs of aging. Treatment is comprised of 3-4 painless visits. There is no down time.

- Tiny Vein Removal

SmoothEye®: A non-ablative treatment for tightening of the perioral region
This is the procedure most desired by celebrities and actors to improve collagen regeneration of the skin. Smooths the skin and lifts pigment for flawless-looking skin. This procedure is fast, effective, and relatively painless.
SNORING AND SLEEP APNEA
NightLase®: A series of three to six non-ablative 20-minute laser treatment sessions over a period of 45-60 days. No needles or anesthesia are required. Targeted tissues include the posterior palate, tonsils, posterior tongue, and floor of the mouth. Post-treatment pain is insignificant, and studies have shown that the treatment results in elevation of the soft palate and uvula and tightening of the oropharyngeal tissues. This results in improved breathing, an increase in the upper airway volume to reduce the severity of snoring.
A simple, non-invasive laser treatment to correct nasal valve (nostril) collapse. Signs and symptoms of nasal valve stenosis include nasal congestion, difficulty breathing inward from the nose especially during physical activity as though they have a clothespin on their nostrils. May require 1 or more 10-minute laser treatment sessions.
A minimally invasive procedure that reduces the size of the tonsils using laser instead of surgery. Non-ablative treatment with minimal discomfort. May require 1 or more 10-minute laser treatment sessions.
