Soft tissue lasers
Soft tissue lasers kill bacteria and encourage the growth of new and healthy gum tissue. Their unique frequency makes them ideal for sealing nerve endings and blood vessels, ensuring a quick and pain-free treatment experience.

Hard tissue lasers use powerful wavelengths capable of cutting through the tooth enamel. At Dental Arts of Brooklyn, the team uses hard tissue lasers to prep teeth for fillings and remove decaying tooth enamel.
