Dr. Rachel Brown-McDonald’s approach emphasizes biological and functional dental practices, ensuring precise treatments with minimal discomfort. She is committed to providing top-quality care using modern techniques like laser dentistry.

How Laser Dentistry Enhances Dental Care

Cottonwood Dental uses state-of-the-art lasers, including Fotona AT LightWalker® and LightScalpel, for specific dental tasks, including tongue-tie revisions and soft and hard tissue procedures. This technology allows for more precise control during your treatment, which minimizes tissue damage and promotes speedy healing.

The Benefits of Laser Dentistry at Cottonwood Dental

Dr. Brown chooses laser dentistry for our patients because of its extensive benefits. Dental lasers improve the level of care we provide and enhance your experience, making dentistry more comfortable and efficient. 

• Reduces Discomfort and Anxiety — Dental lasers can, in some instances, do away with the need for drills and stitches, which helps reduce anxiety when appropriate
• Minimizes Bleeding and Swelling — Lasers coagulate blood on contact, leading to minimal post-operative complications.
• Lowers Risk of Infection — The high-energy beam sterilizes the area of focus, minimizing the chance of bacterial infections.
• Enhances Precision—Laser treatment's precise nature allows for more conservative treatments, preserving more natural tooth structure, especially when combined with ozone therapy.
• Speeds Healing — The gentle approach of laser dentistry speeds up the healing and recovery.
