Lasers in Cosmetic Dentistry

Lasers allow dentists to precisely reshape tissues for the best esthetic results. If a patient has a "gummy smile" or has veneers or crowns, a dentist can lengthen the tooth by altering the hard or soft tissue and raising the gum line with little or no bleeding, pain or postoperative swelling.

Laser whiting is a procedure which is done in the office and takes about one hour. The laser helps speeds up the reaction of whitening gels and works directly off the pigment of the teeth so it can whiten faster and deeper. Most patients see whitening results immediately with results being 3 to 6 shades whiter and with less sensitivity afterward.
