VersaWave Laser:

IALD    Logo

The VersaWave Laser is the second type of laser we use in our office. This laser is a Erbium:YAG Laser and is used to sculpt both hard and soft tissues. This laser creates less heat and destruction of tissue resulting in less tissue trauma. This offers quicker healing with less discomfort than conventional surgical procedures. Drs. Craddock and Godat have training in laser dentistry.

If needed sedation can be used to keep you comfortable and relaxed.

Like Lasiks (Laser Eye Surgery) just for the Mouth

  • Laser Orthodontic Tooth Uncoveries
  • Laser Frenectomies
  • Laser Lightening of Dark Gums
