Laser Dentistry


Lasers have been used in partnership with traditional dental instruments since 1990. We are excited to provide for our patients an array of laser treatments designed to speed up recovery time, improve accuracy and kill bacteria more effectively than non-laser treatments.

Types of Laser Treatments


There are many different types of treatments available to patients today that utilize laser therapy. Here at Mercer Island Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to utilize the Fotona laser System. With the Fotona Laser System, there is NO DRILL, so many procedures can be completed painlessly with no anesthetic. Lasers offer a natural, biological approach to dental procedures that is more safe, precise, and convenient than any comparable tool. We are one of the few pediatric dental practices in the Greater Seattle area that offers laser dentistry.

Is It Safe?


Laser therapy is not dangerous and is just as safe as any other piece of dental equipment when it is used correctly by a professional. As a precaution, we will provide you with special glasses to protect your eyes. Remember, lasers have been around for nearly thirty years, and after almost three decades worth of testing, you can rest assured you will not have any unseen side effects.
