Who Can Benefit from Laser Dentistry?
Many people have heard about laser dentistry but don’t understand how it works or how it can benefit them. At the office of Richard D. Weigand, DDS, in Spokane, Washington, we offer laser dentistry for cavities, laser teeth cleaning near me, laser gum disease treatment, and more. The answers to these questions provide greater insight into laser dentistry technology to help you decide if it’s right for you.
What is laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry is an advanced dental technology that uses lasers or light energy to treat oral issues like decay, periodontal disease, mouth lesions, etc. If you are a candidate for laser therapy, it can be less invasive than other forms of treatment.
How does laser dentistry work?
Dental lasers are hand-held devices that can be used for various dental procedures. They release a focused beam of light onto your gums or teeth to treat problems like decay, oral infections, and dental disease with greater accuracy and precision.
What dental procedures or treatments can be done with lasers?
Dr. Weigand and our team may use laser dentistry for:
- Treating cavities
- Treating mouth sores and gum disease
- Gum contouring

Why should I consider laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry helps simplify many dental treatments, making them easier for our patients to bear. Here are some of the benefits of choosing laser dentistry over traditional dental treatments:
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Less need for anesthesia
- Minimal bleeding
