Tinley Park General Dentist Discusses Laser Dentistry

Written by Dr. Zaibak on Oct 26, 2021

Our Tinley Park General Dentist uses lasers to provide our patients with important dental treatments comfortably and quickly. We are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to treat a variety of common dental issues.

What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry is an exciting advance in modern dental technology and has proven effective for:

  • Treating periodontal disease (gum disease)
  • Removing cavities
  • Performing root canals
  • Killing harmful bacteria and promoting healthy tissue regeneration
  • Safely and effectively enhancing your smile when used in conjunction with cosmetic dentistry treatments

What are the Benefits of Lasers?

Laser dentistry also offers our patients a number of benefits over traditional dentistry in several important aspects:

  • The use of any type of anesthesia is usually unnecessary during laser treatment.
  • Laser dentistry is safe and effective for use with patients who have special needs like children and adult patients who fear visits to the dentist.
  • Laser dentistry eliminates the need for drilling, so the anxiety associated with the sound of a high-speed drill in adults and children is also eliminated.
  • There is no invasive cutting involved, so laser dentistry results in minimal bleeding and requires no stitches after treatment.

By using laser dentistry, our Orland Park laser dentist can pinpoint the precise areas where treatment is needed. This helps us to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible when filling teeth or performing root canal therapy. Maintaining healthy tooth structure is important for your oral health and well-being.

Through the use of laser dentistry, we can provide our patients with efficient, comfortable dental treatment. Please contact our office for a personal consultation so we can discuss the ways in which laser dentistry may benefit you.
