Services – The Montana Center for Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry provides a modern, innovative, and overall more comfortable approach to dental care. The drill has traditionally been the dentist’s go-to tool, but it is invasive and causes an unnecessary amount of patient discomfort. When a laser is used, patients are more comfortable and relaxed.

Because of the laser’s concentrated energy, it can be used to perform powerful and accurate dental work without being invasive. In addition, because laser treatment is by nature, gentler, patients experience the following benefits:

Decreased appointment duration
Minimized bleeding and swelling
Reduced discomfort (during and after procedures)
Moderated or eliminated need for local anesthesia (in most cases)
Faster healing and recovery

Lasers are wonderful, resourceful tools in cosmetic, preventative, and reparative dentistry. Here are the many ways that the Montana Center for Laser Dentistry can help you through the use of laser dentistry technology:

Decay removal
Fillings
Root canals
Periodontal treatments (i.e., gum disease)
Gum recontouring
Crowns and veneers (in a single appointment!)
Teeth whitening

Proprietary Instruments

Bite Technology

T-Scan pressure measurement used with Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) and Electromyography (EMG) to accurately figure out your problem and then used to improve your bite for comfort, prevent wear and damage to your teeth and dental materials. An unbalanced bite can be a big part of teeth moving, headaches, muscle tension in your face, neck, and shoulders, and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). It's very important to get your bite right after orthodontics.

Velscope

The VELscope system helps dental professionals visualize abnormalities in the mucosal tissues of your lips, mouth and upper throat. In just two minutes, with no rinses, stains or discomfort, a VELscope examination lets healthcare professionals improve their assessment of your overall oral health.

Galileos 3D x-ray, cone beam radiographic system

This type of x-ray is like a panoramic x-ray, but can see the teeth, jawbone, TMJ, sinuses, and more, in three dimensions. It allows the doctors to diagnose what previously could NOT be seen in traditional two dimensional x-rays. The accuracy of these images are so precise, that the doctors can actually perform a “Virtual Surgery” for example, to place implants, in a extremely precise, and minimally invasive fashion! We can also use this type of x-ray to diagnose and treat sleep disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea! There is so much this does that we can’t imagine practicing dentistry without this technology!
