A laser is a device that emits light. Dentists use lasers in a number of dental treatments. Lasers are used to remove tooth decay and to prepare enamel for a filling. Lasers are also used to cure a filling. When treating gum disease, lasers are used to reshape the gums. They can also be used during root canal procedures to remove bacteria. Dr. Raymond del Castillo and Dr. Douglas A. Deam are proud to practice laser treatment in Coral Gables, Florida!

Our dentists and team use the UltraSpeed™ CO2 Laser for soft tissue procedures. This laser provides unparalleled precision and accuracy. The UltraSpeed™ has high water absorption, which is the main component of soft tissues. The UltraSpeed allows our dentists to incise gum tissues with the speed of a scalpel while sealing blood vessels. This laser is especially helpful for use in implants, oral surgery, and periodontics.

DIAGNOdent helps our dentists locate decay in your teeth. Some decay is difficult to find and diagnose because it hides in your mouth. DIAGNOdent helps our dentists easily find even the most concealed cavities. Even very small lesions and cavities that are just starting can be detected. This allows treatment before a cavity becomes large, preserving tooth material.
