Following the mandate from Governor Abbott and the Texas Board of Dental Examiners, we are following distancing guidelines.

We are the first and only 
Additionally, we are using the most advanced diode laser, the Biolase Epic™. At 940nm wavelength, this laser has been proven to be well absorbed by hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin. Thus, it is ideal for the removal of diseased, infected, inflamed, and necrosed periodontal gum tissues. For treating gum disease, it is a valuable adjunct to oral hygiene procedures that targets infected tissues in the pocket.
The Fotona Lightwalker laser is our dual wavelength laser utilizing both Nd-Yag and Erbium wavelengths. This enables us to treat a full range of hard and soft tissue applications. Its Quantum Square Pulse (QSP) technology allows for better performance with less discomfort. Additionally, patients that have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea can benefit from Nightlase™. The airway can be opened via laser assisted non-ablative collagen contraction. A great adjunct to apnea treatment.
The clinical benefits are tissue repair, resolution of inflammation, decreased edema or swelling, and decreased pain. For our patients' benefit, we use LLLT complimentary after each surgery.
