Dental Laser

For soft tissue procedures dental laser eliminates the need for suturing and healing is much faster due to wound sterilization and the atraumatic effect of the laser on surrounding tissues.

LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers have become part of our daily lives; they’re in our computers, and we see them in the grocery store when we buy our food. Now, with new advancements in dental technology, dental lasers have become an important part of dentistry in New York City as well.

Laser dentistry differs from traditional dentistry in that it is far less invasive. Many dental procedures with dental laser can be completed in minutes, not hours,especially routine matters like teeth bleaching and decay removal.

Because of the precision of a dental laser, much less work is actually done in the mouth. This reduces the need for uncomfortable positioning devices, poking and prodding. Sometimes the only equipment a patient actually comes in contact with during a laser dental treatment is a pair of protective goggles.

When your dental work is done with lasers, you are almost guaranteed to get a much more reliable result with much less discomfort. With laser dentistry the area around the tooth being worked on is virtually untouched, unlike in traditional dentistry. By isolating the area to be worked on, a dentist equipped with a laser is also isolating the area that could feel pain later on. And this theory carries on to postoperative swelling and bleeding as well. Some types of laser dentistry don’t even require local anesthesia!
The Benefits of Dental Laser Treatment Include:

• Faster healing
• Less bleeding
• Reduced swelling
• Frenectomy (”tongue-tie” release, orthodontic or periodontal indications) without anesthesia or sutures
• All classes of dental fillings. It’s only limitation is that it can not remove old silver amalgam.
• Laser assisted periodontal therapy
• Smile improvements, i.e. gum sculpting that lengthens teeth due to oversized gingiva (”gummy smile” improvement)
• Excisional and incisional biopsies
• Gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, crown lengthening, and other gum corrections
• Root canals and apicoectomies
• Removal of oral lesions such as fibromas or pappilomas, usually with topical anesthesia only
• Cold sore treatments
• Pediatric procedures. The lack of needles or dental drills is a huge plus for kids.
• Treatment of minor mouth and gum irritations
• Apthous Ulcer (”canker sore” ) treatments (Free!!!!!! Limited Time!!!)
• Tooth bleaching,
• Tissue Reconturing
