Dr. Holliday uses laser dentistry in several ways at our West Seattle dental practice.
The Fotona Lightwalker
She uses the Fotona Lightwalker for tooth preparation for procedures like crowns and composite fillings. The laser allows her to comfortably remove tooth decay and prepare a tooth for its restoration while minimizing vibrations and noise that are uncomfortable for patients. The laser also preserves more of the tooth's natural structure, allowing for more conservative restorative procedures.
The Fotona NightLase®
She uses the Fotona Nightlase to help treat snoring and sleep apnea non-invasively. Laser therapy helps to lift the palate and open the airway, which reduces snoring and improves breathing throughout the night. It can help improve sleep patterns and reduce the symptoms of sleep apnea without the need for an oral appliance or continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Laser Dentistry in West Seattle
The dental laser helps us to provide non-invasive treatment procedures that are more comfortable and streamlined for our patients. Dental lasers also cauterize and sterilize the treated areas, which helps to accelerate healing time and reduce discomfort during the recovery process.
