Gentle. Precise. Powerful.
The Future of Dentistry Is Here.
At Signature Dentistry in North Scottsdale, Dr. Howard Sommers uses advanced dental laser technology to perform treatments that are faster, more precise, and virtually painless.
Laser dentistry helps you heal quicker, feel more comfortable, and preserve more of your natural tooth structure - all with less stress and less downtime.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused beams of light to treat or reshape soft tissue, remove bacteria, and even speed up whitening treatments - without drills, scalpels, or sutures.
Because the laser targets only the affected area, nearby healthy tissue is left untouched. That means less bleeding, minimal discomfort, and a faster recovery compared to traditional techniques.

-
Comfort First: You’ll wear protective glasses, then sit back and relax.
-
Precise Treatment: Dr. Sommers uses a soft-tissue laser to gently reshape or treat the area.
-
Minimal Healing Time: Because laser procedures cause minimal trauma, most patients experience little to no bleeding and heal quickly - often within a day or two.
Different wavelengths are used depending on your treatment needs, and Dr. Sommers will select the right laser type after a thorough exam and digital imaging.
Laser dentistry is extremely versatile and can enhance many treatments, including both cosmetic and preventive procedures.
Common Applications Include:
-
Tooth Preparation: Prepares teeth for fillings without drilling or vibration while killing bacteria around the area.
-
Gum Recontouring (“Gummy Smile” Correction): Shapes gum tissue to create a more balanced, natural smile.
-
Crown Lengthening: Gently exposes more of the natural tooth for restorative or cosmetic reasons.
-
Soft Tissue Treatment: Removes folds or excess tissue comfortably and quickly.
-
Whitening Enhancement: Accelerates professional whitening results by activating the whitening gel.
-
Biopsy or Lesion Removal: Allows for quick, precise tissue removal or sampling with minimal discomfort.
“Our goal is simple: make every treatment as gentle, effective, and anxiety-free as possible.”
