Laser Tissue Contouring

Cosmetic laser dentistry is the new, easy way to give you that perfect smile you've always wanted. In many cases, Laser Tissue Contouring can be used to improve an individual's smile line. It can be used to minimize the appearance of "boxy" teeth or to correct hyperplastic (excessive) gum tissue. Dr. Hargrove uses the Laser in these specific cases to achieve a more esthetic gum line, resulting on a more attractive smile. Additionally, this procedure can improve the individual's oral hygiene.

How does it work?
Dr. Hargrove is one of the few dentists in the Atlanta area to use the SmilePro 980 laser for tissue contouring. The SmilePro 980 generates a precise beam of concentrated light energy. The precision of this light energy allows the doctor superior control during a variety of procedures and gives you a great smile.

How safe is a dental laser?
Medical lasers have been used in the fields of ophthalmology, neurosurgery, ear/nose/throat, and dermatology for decades. It's only in the last ten years that advances in technology have made it possible for it to be used in individual dental offices -for both adults and children.

What are the benefits?
Compared to traditional instruments and methods, the dental laser actually minimizes or eliminates the need for needles, anesthesia, scalpels, or sutures. In most cases, pain is either virtually eliminated or significantly reduced. Procedures are done more quickly and efficiently, so you spend less time in the chair! With the use of the SmilePro 980, you will be able to heal faster because it eliminates bleeding and reduces tissue trauma.
