Laser Dentistry
We’re excited to be one of the few dental offices in Northern Colorado offering the latest in advanced technology with the Fotona Lightwalker Laser. Imagine getting a cavity fixed without a shot… and without the numb, droopy cheek afterward. That’s exactly what laser dentistry offers, and we’re thrilled to provide it for our patients.
Our Fotona Laser uses advanced laser technology to gently block pain signals—before they ever reach the brain—allowing us to treat many cavities comfortably without traditional anesthesia. Kids love it because it feels more like a soft, buzzing tickle than a dental procedure, and parents love it because their child can go right back to talking, eating, and smiling normally.
Why families love the laser:
- No shots for many fillings and minor procedures
- No numb lips or cheeks, so kids aren’t tempted to bite themselves
- Faster appointments with smoother transitions in and out of the office
- Less anxiety, especially for little ones who worry about the “poke”
- A calmer, more positive dental experience overall
Dr. Nam received special training and certification to use the laser, and she’s thrilled to bring this futuristic, patient-friendly technology to Northern Colorado families. Curious? Stop by and see if the laser can work its magic for your child!
Minimally Invasive Treatments
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a safe, minimally invasive treatment used to stop small cavities from getting bigger. It’s especially helpful for very young children or kids who aren’t quite ready to cooperate for traditional dental treatment. SDF is painted onto the tooth – no drilling, no shots, and no removal of tooth structure.
Hall Crown Technique
Hall Crown Technique is a gentle, minimally invasive way to treat cavities in baby teeth – without drilling or shots. A stainless steel crown is placed over the tooth to seal out bacteria and stop the cavity from progressing. This approach is especially helpful for young or anxious children, making treatment faster, more comfortable, and less stressful while protecting the tooth until it naturally falls out.
Lip & Tongue Ties at Flourish Tongue Tie Center
Lip and tongue ties can affect everything from breast and bottle feeding in babies to speech, oral development, and breathing in older children. We provide gentle, thorough evaluations to see if a tie may be making nursing or bottle-feeding tricky, or impacting your child’s speech, chewing, or smile growth.

Painless Anesthesia
We’re excited to offer SOAN® (Single Tooth Anesthesia)—a modern, kid-friendly alternative to traditional numbing! SOAN numbs only the tooth being treated, not the entire lip or cheek. That means no droopy smiles, no lingering numbness, and no accidental lip or cheek biting afterward.
This advanced option makes dental visits more comfortable and less intimidating for kids, and they can get right back to smiling, talking, and eating as usual. It’s just one of the ways we’re making dental visits easier (and happier!) for our patients and families.
Sealants, Fillings & Crowns
We offer aesthetic, tooth-colored options to treat and prevent cavities. From protective sealants to natural-looking fillings and durable crowns, our restorations are designed to keep your child’s smile healthy and beautiful.
White Crowns
Natural-Looking White Crowns (Sprig Zirconia Crowns)
We’re proud to offer Sprig Zirconia White Crowns – a beautiful, durable, and completely metal-free option for restoring your child’s smile. These crowns are made from high-strength zirconia and are designed to blend naturally with your child’s teeth, giving a bright, clean, and picture-perfect result.
