Many people around the country are terrified of going to the dentist. This is incredibly common and, unfortunately, many people neglect dental healthcare because of this phobia. Thankfully, laser dentistry has revolutionized dental care. It has allowed for procedures to be performed in a much more comfortable and less intrusive manner. A fear of dentists doesn't have to be debilitating. Laser dentistry may be the solution to your dental phobia.
By performing laser dental treatments, we can eliminate the common reasons why people are uncomfortable during dental procedures – heat, pressure, and vibration. Once eliminated, many people do not even need anesthesia. That is why we can often complete fillings without our patients requesting an injection. Additionally, laser technology allows us to more accurately target specific areas of your mouth. The laser is incredibly thin so we can make precise incisions when necessary. We can even use lasers to correct issues like tooth decay. The difference is that the surrounding gum tissue is not impacted or irritated in any way. With traditional metal dental tools, a dentist may irritate the surrounding tissue with an accidental slip of the hand. By removing this risk, our patients can undergo the same dental procedures but with a faster recovery time. Simultaneously, our patients are more comfortable than if the procedure was performed in the traditional manner. For example, laser dental fillings achieve the same results but without the discomfort. Simultaneously, lasers can also be used to help stop the bleeding so that when a more intensive procedure is being performed, gauze may be unnecessary or only used temporarily. Patients can appreciate the opportunity to have dental work completed in this non-invasive way. If you would like to experience laser dentistry for yourself, we invite you to call 347-344-5806 and schedule an appointment.

Perhaps one of the most significant advances that gentle dentistry has made is associated with treating gum disease. This condition is so common that most adults will suffer from some form of gum disease in their lifetime. The symptoms typically start with red, swollen, and bleeding gums but if left untreated, it can lead to gum recession. Receding gums are particularly dangerous because more of the tooth and roots will become exposed and open for attack by bacteria. Many people suffer bone and tooth loss as a result. Treating gum disease, therefore, is critical for preserving your teeth as you age. The traditional method of treatment involves pulling the gums away from the tooth and using metal dental tools to scrape off the bacteria, plaque and tartar that has formed on the tooth but underneath the gums. This can be uncomfortable to say the least. Laser dentistry has completely changed the procedure. We offer periodontic care, and our patients can have their gum disease treated by using lasers to break up the plaque and tartar. This will remove the irritant that is causing the gum disease in the first place. Typically, the gums will then return to good health. Since this is a non-invasive procedure, our patients start to feel better right away. Not all dentists in the Staten Island area offer this new method of treating gum disease, making it important to visit a laser dentistry office.
This type of dentistry also allows us to restore the beauty of your smile with laser whitening. We can perform in-office whitening treatment sessions with dramatic results. These services work much more quickly than at-home solutions. Even though these provide quick results, they are still entirely safe, making them a great solution to your teeth whitening needs.
Laser dentistry allows us to perform procedures without heat, pressure, and vibration, which tend to make patients uncomfortable. Without these sensations, most can endure operations without any anesthesia. Laser dentistry also allows us to target specific areas of your mouth with pinpoint precision.
