Laser Dentistry

The dental laser is the latest in modern innovations for the 21st Century. The Erbium Laser has proven safe and effective for many surgical procedures, the removal of tooth decay and cavity preparation. Recently receiving FDA approval for use in adults and children, the Erbium Laser offers an alternative to the high-speed drill, eliminating fear and patient discomfort.

The laser is revolutionizing dental care-just as it has in so many other areas of our lives. With the Erbium dental laser Dr. Polsky can provide you and your family with a new method of dental care, which can often be performed, in many cases, without injection of local anesthesia.

Q:  Will It Hurt?

A:   Most patients find laser procedures remarkably comfortable, in fact, that in many cases no numbing is required. Patients who have experienced laser treatment report feeling nothing more than slight sensation of warmth.

In Children 95% of the time numbing is not required. While Dr. Polsky removes the decayed tooth material (caries), the laser simultaneously “numbs” the tooth, therefore reduces the needs for shots and an uneasy after local anesthesia sensation.

Most children will not also feel the vibrations normally produced by a conventional handpiece.

Most patients feel very comfortable with minor surgical procedures such as tongue tie. If laser is used for such surgical intervention instead of a conventional scalpel, healing occurs much faster, the need for sutures is eliminated, and the post operative discomfort is so minimal that patients can resume their normal activities the moment they walk out of the office.

Q:  What kind of after-effects can I expect?

A:  The soft tissue dental laser often eliminates the unpleasant after-effects associated with many dental procedures such as soreness, bleeding, inflammation and stitches. It also create no known after-effects of it’s own.

Patient Testimonials

“ Both of my children ages 5 ad 9 had teeth filled via laser and felt no discomfort at all. It was quick and they didn’t have to wait for any numbing to wear off. Dr. Polsky and the staff are so great with children they put them at ease. The office is very kid-friendly and I would recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a children dentistry.”

“ My daughter had to get 4 fillings. It took about 20 minutes and she was finished. I was amazed! There were no shots, absolutely no pain involved. I was very happy with the laser treatment and my daughter was as well. The staff at Kids Choice Dental make us feel like we are part of their family when we go there. My kids actually enjoy going to the dentist. I highly recommend Kids Choice Dental, and the fast & painless laser fillings.”
