Benefits of Laser Dentistry              

If you have sensitive teeth, laser dentistry might be just the solution. Laser Dentistry is gentler on your gums and teeth than traditional dental tools. While laser dentistry is not right for everyone, it can make your dental procedure at Lakeshore Dental Specialists even more comfortable.                    

Laser dentistry may speed your recovery time as well. Since light energy promotes coagulation, it can reduce bleeding and eliminate the need for sutures in some cases. Finally, laser dentistry stimulates your gum tissue to heal itself, which makes it ideal for treating periodontal disease. Lakeshore Dental Specialists aims to make your procedure as comfortable and safe as possible. After your visit, you can enjoy the renewed confidence that comes with having healthier teeth and gums.              

Lakeshore Dental Specialists is proud to offer the latest laser dentistry Detroit has to offer by using LAPIP, and LANAP equipment.              

Using these tools, our doctors can ensure you have the most comfortable dental visit with the shortest possible recovery time.

What is Laser Dentistry?        

Laser technology has revolutionized the way our doctors perform many dental procedures.      

Rather than handheld instruments, laser dentistry uses focused beams of light to whiten your teeth, treat gum disease, fix cavities, and more. That means you can avoid having your teeth drilled, for example. Laser Dentistry has been around for nearly 30 years, and the technology has improved significantly during that time.

Who is a Candidate for Laser Dentistry?        

Laser technology is impressive, but it does not replace the need for traditional dental procedures in all cases.      

At Lakeshore Dental Specialists, our doctors draw on decades of experience to match you with the best dental procedure for your needs. During your consultation, they will perform a thorough dental exam and address all your concerns. If laser dentistry is determined to be in your best interest, you may be able to have the procedure on the same day.

What to Expect During Your Laser Dentistry Recovery              

Laser dentistry has a shorter recovery time than traditional dentistry. Your exact recovery timeline depends on the extent of your procedure.        

Our Detroit cosmetic dentists will advise you of proper aftercare to ensure you have a successful recovery. In some cases, you may be asked to eat soft foods for several days or avoid brushing your teeth immediately after your procedure. If you have any questions as you heal, call our office for assistance.
