Sometimes teeth really lose their luster over time. Perhaps you’ve never been comfortable with your smile, and you are looking for an improvement through the help of cosmetic dentistry options. Going through life with a less-than-perfect smile causes embarrassment, self-esteem issues, and a lowered quality of life.  Stained teeth are only one part of the problem. Many patients also suffer from gum disease, and cavities which means cosmetics aren’t even an option until a healthy foundation is restored. Glencoe cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg can help gently solve various dental issues with the help of state-of-the-art laser technology.

Why Lasers in Dentistry?

Gentle laser dental care is a much praised innovation in modern dentistry as well as other areas of healthcare. Periodontal disease, in particular, is one of the most prevalent dental conditions with one of the most archaic means of treatment. Patients suffering from gum disease no longer need to fear the scalpels and sutures typically associated with gum surgery. Thanks to laser gum surgery, we can perform the necessary procedure with less pain and discomfort. In some gum disease cases, surgery is even avoidable if we are able to decontaminate the bacterial pockets using laser technology. Furthermore, lasers allow Dr. Engelberg to implement laser gum lifts with lasers, lining up the gums in a symmetrical, attractive manner. Laser gum lifts are often performed in connection with porcelain veneer procedures.

Lasers and Whitening

Many people are unfamiliar with the fact that lasers have anything to do with teeth whitening. In fact, thanks to lasers, Dr. Engelberg can provide among the most powerful teeth whitening options to patients – Zoom!. Whitening with a laser is comfortable, easy, and limits the tooth enamel sensitivity often associated with topical bleaching gels. The best part, however, is the speed. Lasers have a reputation of being space aged, and while the future is now, the rate at which lasers activate bleaching gel (about an hour) truly does seem like something right out of a science fiction movie.
