Why Choose Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry often allows many procedures to be performed INJECTION-FREE and WITHOUT ANESTHESIA, providing a more comfortable experience for our patients. Cutting-edge laser technology enables precise, minimally invasive treatments for a wide range of dental concerns, including tooth restoration and fillings, sleep apnea, gum reshaping, treating cold sores, and a variety of other dental procedures. Laser technology allows us to perform precise, gentle treatments for soft and hard tissue procedures with minimal discomfort and faster healing times.

Laser technology makes it possible to treat early cavities without the need for traditional drilling or numbing. Instead, we gently remove decay with pinpoint accuracy for a faster, quieter, and more comfortable experience for both kids and adults. 

Laser therapy is a fast, effective way to treat cold sores and herpetic lesions. By targeting the area with gentle laser energy, we can relieve pain, speed up healing, and even stop an outbreak if caught early. Treatment is quick, requires no anesthesia, and can reduce the frequency and severity of future flare-ups. For best results, schedule a visit as soon as you feel tingling or burning and our team will take it from there. 

Whether you're looking to reshape uneven gums for a more balanced smile or need to remove inflamed gum tissue due to gum disease, laser treatment offers a precise, low-discomfort option. There's usually little to no bleeding, and healing time is quicker than with traditional methods.

A laser frenectomy is a simple way to release a tight or restricted tongue or lip tie. It's a quick procedure with minimal discomfort, and because there's no cutting or stitches, healing tends to be much easier—especially for infants and young children.

Preparing a tooth for a crown or filling doesn’t always require a drill. In many cases, we can use a laser to shape the tooth with accuracy and less discomfort. It’s a great option for patients who prefer a quieter, more relaxed experience.

Lasers allow us to perform minor oral surgeries with fewer stitches, minimal swelling, and an overall easier recovery experience. For example, if you have an unusual bump or sore in your mouth, we can use a laser to remove a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further evaluation, usually with little to no bleeding and minimal discomfort.

We also use lasers to uncover teeth that haven’t fully erupted, such as impacted canines or premolars. This is especially helpful during orthodontic treatment, making it easier to guide the tooth into place without the need for traditional surgery.

What to Expect

Your laser dentistry journey with us is designed to be smooth, comfortable, and effective. Here's what you can expect throughout the process:

Request a Visit
01

Initial Examination

During your first visit, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination, including advanced imaging if necessary. We'll discuss your concerns, whether they're related to sleep apnea, gum health, or other issues, and determine if laser treatment is the best approach for your unique needs.

02

Treatment Planning

Based on your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment plan. We'll explain the procedure in detail, discussing the benefits of laser technology for your specific case, and answer any questions you may have. This is also when we'll schedule your treatment session.

03

The Laser Procedure

On the day of your treatment, we'll ensure you're comfortable and relaxed. Most laser procedures require minimal or no anesthesia. The treatment itself is often quicker and more comfortable than traditional methods. You might hear the laser working, but you shouldn't feel any pain. For sleep apnea patients, this may involve reshaping soft tissues to improve airway flow.

04

Recovery and Follow-up

Post-treatment, you'll likely experience minimal discomfort and a faster recovery compared to traditional procedures. Depending on your specific treatment, we may provide specific aftercare instructions and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments if necessary.

I've been coming here for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. I used to be  terrified of the dentist to the point I didn't go for 4 years but because of the atmosphere and staff I feel so comfortable I've fallen asleep twice. I have most appointments with Jackie and she is great. Overall all of the staff is welcoming and some of the nicest people.

Daniel C.

Always an enjoyable experience when I visit Maria at Manyak Dental Group for a cleaning. Thorough, friendly, and caring for all of my dental needs. Everyone there is happy and helpful, plus the atmosphere is calming and comfy for those longer appointments.

Jamie G.

Love this office! Everyone from the front desk to the hygienist and dentists are so friendly. Jackie is an amazing hygienist- so very gentle and I love just listening to her and talking to her when my mouth isn't being worked on. Would give them 6 stars if I could.

Arlene F.

This has been my dentist for nearly 10 years and there’s nothing I wouldn’t trust them with. I drive down from SF multiple times a year because I don’t want to change! Always super friendly, effective and efficient. Today I had work done on a filling by Dr. Levine and Sarah - they used a new cold laser that allowed me to forego anesthesia and it was awesome. Also my hygienist Jackie is the best!

Mackenzie H.

Dr. Manyak is wonderful. She is so professional and comprehensive. I love the fact that her office is so “ high tech” and she has all the latest equipment that makes getting my treatments so easy and painless!  Also Amadell is great as has such a gently touch. Every one in the front office is great as well!  I highly recommend Dr Manyak and co!

Sheri M.

I recently had my teeth cleaned and sealants applied at Manyak Dental, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The hygienist, Jackie, was thorough and gentle during the cleaning, and I truly appreciated her attention to detail and the care she took to ensure my comfort throughout the process. After the cleaning, I met with Dr. Dui for my sealant application, which was quick and painless. He explained each step of the process, making me feel at ease the entire time. I highly recommend Manyak Dental Group to anyone seeking quality dental care!

Mikaela F.

Always a great time at this dentists office! They’re amazing. Jackie the nurse does a great job and has been working with me for a few years already. Jenny is always understanding of my busy schedule and does great work getting appointments set. Even though I moved away I still commute to this dentists office. Definitely recommend!

Laser dentistry has a wide range of applications beyond sleep apnea treatment. We use lasers for treating gum disease, removing decay and preparing cavities for fillings, performing root canals, whitening teeth, and even detecting cavities early. We can even treat cold sores and herpetic lesions for quick results. The versatility of laser technology allows us to provide more comfortable and efficient treatments for many dental concerns.

For some sleep apnea patients, laser dentistry can be used to reshape the soft palate, helping to open the airway and improve breathing during sleep. This minimally invasive approach can be an effective alternative or complement to other sleep apnea treatments. However, the suitability of laser treatment depends on your specific case, which we'll evaluate during your consultation.

Yes, laser dentistry is very safe when performed by trained professionals like our skilled doctor team. Our advanced laser technology is FDA-approved and offers precise control, minimizing risks associated with traditional dental procedures. Additionally, lasers sterilize as they work, reducing the risk of infection.
