Laser Dentistry: A Better Way To Treat Gums (video)

Woman with a Bright Smile at Family Dental of Spokane Valley

The Centers for Disease Control recently reported that nearly half of American adults have some form of periodontitis. This is considered an advanced form of gum disease.

At one time, a scalpel and stitches were needed to remove infected gum tissue and close it again. At Family Dental of Spokane Valley, WA, we have a better way to deal with gum disease.

Laser dentistry allows our dentist to repair the infected tissue without surgery. The laser also seals the gums so stitches usually are not needed. Dr. Ellsworth discusses our dental lasers in the video below.

If you have gum disease, contact us online or call 509-850-3217 to schedule an appointment soon.

Dr Ellsworth is an excellent dentist. I’m having work done on my two front teeth and was dreading the novocaine shots. He is patient and kind and takes all the time he needed to give me the shots with the least amount of pain. He is a top notch professional making sure my teeth were prepped well and the temporary crowns fit without unwanted attention. The staff is supportive and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Ellsworth

I’ve lost a lot of teeth due to a disease called intracranial hypertension and when you lose your smile and the confidence to smile or laugh or even talk to people when you’ve got missing teeth can be so depressing. From the moment I walked into dr Ellsworth’s office I felt safe. We came up with a game plan to get my smile back and I’m so excited for the transformation. Not only is dr Ellsworth kind and compassionate but his staff is equally as caring and to see the staff excited for me makes the experience so much easier. Thanks so much to the whole family dental crew! I’m excited for my journey to getting my smile back with you guys!!!
