Laser Dentistry
While many people still associate the dentist with sharp cleaning tools and drills, advancements in modern dentistry now offer comfortable, painless and more accurate dental treatments. Laser dentistry, for example, uses a beam of light to perform many different dental procedures, such as removing debris and toxins to kill bacteria, shaping gum tissue, and bleaching gums.
At Smile in the City, our New York dentists are here to improve your smile – whether through laser periodontal surgery, cosmetic dentistry treatments or anything in between. But it’s also up to you to maintain your smile and ensure healthy, beautiful teeth and gums. Preventing cavities and gum disease involves proper brushing and cleaning methods, as well as a healthy diet.
It's about time! Smile in the City is thrilled to hear the good news: according to The Medical News, The Waterlase MD laser system has recently been approved by the FDA for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis, a condition referring to various diseases that occur when the support system of tissue and bone surrounding the teeth becomes inflamed.
New York periodontist Dr. Joseph Zelig, can lighten dark spots on gums of patients with a painless laser treatment. Hyper pigmentation, or dark gums, is prevalent in patients with darker complexions.
