Experience the Future of Dentistry — Today
Imagine visiting the dentist for a cavity, but instead of hearing the dreaded sound of a dental drill, you're treated with a whisper-quiet laser that makes the entire experience smooth and painless. At Tindal Prosthodontics, that's not a dream — it's reality, thanks to our state-of-the-art LightWalker® Laser technology.
​
Dr. Ben Tindal, a highly skilled prosthodontist in Sarasota, FL, uses this cutting-edge laser to perform a wide range of dental procedures with greater precision, comfort, and speed than ever before. With laser dentistry, you’ll feel more relaxed in the chair — and enjoy faster healing afterward.
What Is LightWalker® Laser Dentistry?
The LightWalker® Laser is one of the most advanced dental lasers available today, and it allows Dr. Ben Tindal to treat a variety of dental issues without the need for traditional drills, scalpels, or invasive tools. Instead of relying on cutting or grinding instruments, the LightWalker uses precise, concentrated beams of light to gently and effectively treat both hard and soft tissues in the mouth — including teeth, gums, and bone.
​
This high-tech laser is completely transforming the way we approach dental care. Patients who may have previously avoided treatment out of fear of discomfort or pain are often amazed at how easy and painless their experience can be. By offering minimally invasive solutions, the LightWalker Laser not only makes procedures more comfortable, but also reduces recovery times, minimizes bleeding, and protects healthy tissue.
​
Whether you're coming in for a routine filling or need more advanced treatment for gum disease, laser dentistry makes it possible to care for your smile more gently and effectively than ever before.
​
What Can We Use the LightWalker Laser For?
Wondering how this incredible technology might benefit you? Here are just a few ways Dr. Tindal uses the LightWalker Laser to provide top-quality dental care:
​
Removing Tooth Decay (No More Dental Drill!)
If you have a cavity, forget about the anxiety-inducing sound of a dental drill! The LightWalker Laser gently removes decayed tooth structure with pinpoint accuracy, preserving more of your healthy enamel. Because it's so precise, there's often no need for numbing shots, making your visit faster and more comfortable.
​
Preparing a Tooth for a Crown or Filling
When a tooth needs to be restored with a crown or filling, the LightWalker Laser can prepare the tooth surface smoothly and efficiently. Its precision ensures that only the necessary amount of tooth structure is removed, which helps maintain the strength of the tooth while creating a perfect fit for your restoration.
​
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Traditionally, advanced cases required invasive gum surgery, but with the LightWalker Laser, Dr. Tindal can remove harmful bacteria and infected tissue non-surgically. The laser targets and sterilizes periodontal pockets, encouraging the gums to heal naturally — with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
​
Crown Lengthening
Sometimes a tooth needs to be longer or more exposed to support a crown or improve aesthetics. With the LightWalker Laser, crown lengthening becomes a precise and minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Tindal can reshape the gum tissue and expose more of the tooth structure comfortably and quickly, often without the need for sutures.
​
Gum Recontouring (Cosmetic Gum Shaping)
If you feel like you have a "gummy smile" or uneven gum lines, the LightWalker Laser can be used for gum recontouring to create a beautiful, symmetrical smile. This cosmetic procedure gently removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile in a single, comfortable visit.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry at Tindal Prosthodontics
Less Invasive Treatment
Traditional dental procedures can sometimes cause micro-cracks in enamel or irritation of soft tissues. With the precision of the LightWalker Laser, Dr. Tindal can treat your teeth and gums without these side effects — reducing post-treatment pain and dramatically shortening recovery time.
​
Non-Invasive Gum Therapy
In the past, advanced gum disease often required surgical intervention to remove plaque and tartar from deep below the gumline. Now, Dr. Tindal uses the LightWalker Laser for non-invasive gum therapy, eradicating harmful bacteria in periodontal pockets and stopping infections — without surgery.
​
More Comfortable and Relaxing Visits
The LightWalker Laser produces no heat, sound, or vibration, making treatments virtually painless. Many procedures are so gentle that patients don’t even need local anesthesia to stay comfortable.
​
Faster, More Efficient Care
Because laser dentistry often eliminates the need for numbing, your treatment can be completed more quickly, and you’ll leave the office without a numb mouth — making it easier to return to work or enjoy the rest of your day.
