Lasers help with a number of dental treatments. When using a laser, your dentist may not need to use a drill or administer anesthesia in some procedures, allowing you to enjoy a more relaxed dental experience.
A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow beam of light energy. When laser light comes in contact with tissue or tooth structure, it causes a reaction which can remove or shape that tissue.
Lasers can be used in dentistry as a safe and effective treatment for many procedures, including:
Laser procedures can be more precise, reduce symptoms and healing times associated with traditional therapies, reduce the amount of bacteria in both diseased gum tissue and in tooth cavities, and control bleeding during surgery.

This is an awesome dental office and team. From the first greeting, the excellent hygiene appointment with Flo and exam with Dr Cohen it was a great visit. Thank you for your continued care for the past 31 years.
Dr. Mike and Grace were absolutely amazing! I chipped a front tooth and had to have a filling done. He matched my shade perfectly and was very gentle throughout the process. No wait time! Love this guys at HFD!
Very positive experience having a tooth extracted by Dr. Meehan. The entire staff was very warm and professional.
