Modern dentistry keeps getting kinder to patients, and few tools show this better than the dental laser. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, UT, we use advanced laser technology to turn treatments that once felt intimidating into gentle, comfortable visits. If you live in Provo, American Fork, Orem, or anywhere across Utah County, you deserve care that feels as good as it looks.
How Lasers Change Common Procedures
Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry’s laser dentistry gently minimizes cutting and discomfort, giving you a precise, comfortable experience that makes modern dental care less invasive
Lasers do more than reshape gums. They improve the entire treatment experience in several meaningful ways.
Less need for anesthesia. Many laser procedures cause little to no discomfort, so you may not need numbing shots at all. That means fewer needles and a more relaxed appointment.
Less bleeding. The laser seals small blood vessels as it works. This keeps the treatment area cleaner and calmer, which makes soft-tissue procedures far more comfortable.
Faster healing. Because lasers are so precise, they cause less trauma to surrounding tissue. Your body has less to recover from, so healing often happens more quickly and smoothly.
Improved precision. A dental laser lets Dr. Hammond target only the tissue that needs attention. Healthy areas stay untouched, which protects your smile and delivers cleaner, more predictable results.
Lower risk of infection. The laser’s energy sterilizes as it works, reducing the chance of bacteria causing problems after treatment.

The “Gum Lift”: A Brighter Smile in One Visit
Dental laser technology has advanced so much that you can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile in one simple, comfortable appointment. In a process we sometimes call a “gum lift,” our very own laser dentist in Provo, Dr. Chris Hammond, uses a specialized dental laser to remove excess gum tissue.
If your smile looks “gummy,” or your teeth appear short because gum tissue covers too much of them, a gum lift can reveal more of your natural teeth. The result is a balanced, refreshed smile. Best of all, the laser works with precision and gentleness, so you can often walk out with a new look in just one visit.
Comfort Meets Craftsmanship
The beauty of laser dentistry is how it blends technology with a gentle touch. You get modern convenience, precise results, and a calmer visit all at once. For patients who feel nervous about dental work, this can make a world of difference. And for anyone who simply wants a healthier, more attractive smile, laser treatment offers a path that feels easy from start to finish.
