Gentle, Precise, and Advanced Dental Care
At Favia Family Dental, we are committed to providing the most advanced and patient-friendly dental care available. That commitment is why we have been incorporating dental laser technology into our practice since 2006. With nearly two decades of experience using dental lasers, our office continues to lead the way in innovative, minimally invasive care.
Dr. Joseph Favia is not only an experienced provider but also an international lecturer and Key Opinion Leader for LiteTouch Lasers. His leadership in the field ensures that every patient benefits from the latest advancements in laser dentistry, backed by clinical expertise and precision.
Laser dentistry allows us to treat a variety of soft tissue concerns with greater comfort and efficiency. In many cases, procedures can be performed without scalpels, sutures, or extended healing time. Patients experience less bleeding, minimal discomfort, and quicker recovery compared to traditional techniques.
Whether you’re receiving treatment for gum disease, cosmetic gum reshaping, or cold sore relief, our use of dental lasers helps ensure precise results and a more comfortable experience from start to finish.

Laser Dentistry Services And Care
At Favia Family Dental, we incorporate advanced laser technology to deliver precise, comfortable, and minimally invasive treatments. Laser dentistry allows us to treat soft tissue concerns with greater accuracy, faster healing, and less discomfort making your dental experience more efficient and gentle.
Gum Disease Treatment with Laser Therapy
For patients with periodontal disease, laser therapy can enhance the results of deep cleanings by targeting and vaporizing bacteria below the gumline. This promotes healthier gums and supports healing, often with less discomfort and faster recovery than traditional methods. It’s a modern, effective option for managing gum disease in its early and moderate stages.
Relief for Cold Sores and Canker Sores
Laser therapy offers immediate relief from painful mouth sores. With just one quick treatment, we can reduce discomfort, shorten healing time, and even prevent future flare ups when treated early. This is a safe and gentle solution for both adults and teens experiencing recurring sores.
Cosmetic Gum Contouring
If your smile appears uneven or shows too much gum, laser gum contouring can gently reshape the gumline to create a more balanced, symmetrical look. This minimally invasive procedure requires little to no downtime and provides immediate aesthetic improvement with precision and comfort.
Implant Maintenance and Rescue Procedures
We use soft tissue lasers to carefully clean around dental implants, especially in cases where inflammation or infection is present. This non invasive approach helps maintain implant health and longevity while minimizing discomfort. In more complex cases, laser therapy can assist in implant rescue procedures to preserve your restoration.
