Laser dentistry offers a modern approach to dental treatment by utilizing advanced laser technology to perform a wide range of procedures with enhanced precision and comfort. At McKay Family Dentistry, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care by incorporating tools that improve your experience and outcomes. One of the most advanced devices in our practice is the Gemini EVO™ laser from Ultradent. This state-of-the-art diode laser supports a variety of treatments with superior efficiency and minimal discomfort, giving you the best that modern dentistry has to offer.
Introducing the Gemini EVO Laser
The Gemini EVO laser in Uncasville, Connecticut, stands apart for its dual-wavelength technology, combining both 810 and 980 nanometers into one powerful device. This unique feature allows us to tailor treatment to your specific needs, delivering energy more effectively for soft tissue procedures, bacterial reduction and even temporary pain relief. With a peak power output of 100 watts, it is the most powerful soft tissue diode laser available in dentistry today. The result is faster, cleaner cuts with reduced heat, which enhances comfort and promotes faster healing after your procedure.
This laser is also equipped with an intuitive touchscreen interface and built-in procedure presets, allowing for efficient and predictable outcomes. Whether Dr. Michael McKay is performing a frenectomy, crown lengthening, gingivectomy or treating periodontal pockets, the Gemini EVO laser ensures the procedure is both gentle and effective. Its versatility and accuracy reduce the need for traditional instruments, helping to eliminate common concerns such as prolonged bleeding, swelling and extended healing time.
Why Patients Appreciate Laser Dentistry
Laser procedures with the Gemini EVO are often completed without the need for anesthesia. This is especially helpful for patients who feel anxious about needles or dental drills. Many laser treatments are virtually painless and produce little to no post-operative discomfort. Healing is typically faster, and there is often no need for sutures or invasive incisions.
In addition, the Gemini EVO can assist in reducing bacteria within the mouth, which supports healthier gums and lowers the risk of infection. The laser’s pinpoint precision means our dentist and team can focus on the affected area while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues.
