Laser Dentistry in Larchmont and NYC
If you are interested in a new, fresh approach to dental care, consider laser dentistry. At Joel F. Levy D.D.S. – Laser Assisted – Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, we use laser dentistry to treat our patients’ oral health concerns in a way that is comfortable and effective. If you live in Larchmont, NY or the 10538 area and are looking for modern dental care, give us a call. Lasers are revolutionizing dentistry, but typically a family dentist still uses traditional metal dental tools, making it necessary to visit a laser dentist. As a laser dentist in Larchmont, we use lasers in the majority of our procedures so that we can correct damage without causing irritation. We invite you to call 914-834-9534 and experience the difference that laser dentistry can make.
Laser Dentistry
for Those with a Dental Phobia
If you suffer from dental anxiety or avoid visiting the dentist for
fear of discomfort, you are not alone. This is a common condition
that you do not have to live with. Laser dentistry has
revolutionized dental care to the point where procedures can be
performed in a way that is so comfortable that you will barely
notice you are having dental work done. We treat patients
throughout the Larchmont area that no longer have concerns
regarding dental care after experiencing how pleasant a laser
dental treatment can be.
Laser Dentistry Provides a Better Experience
By performing laser dental treatments, we can eliminate the common
reasons why people are uncomfortable during dental procedures –
heat, pressure, and vibration. Once eliminated, many people do not
even need anesthesia. That is why we can often complete fillings
without our patients requesting an injection. Additionally, laser
technology allows us to more accurately target specific areas of
your mouth. The laser is incredibly thin so we can make precise
incisions when necessary. We can even use lasers to correct issues
like tooth decay. The difference is that the surrounding gum tissue
is not impacted or irritated in any way. With traditional metal
dental tools, even an expert dentist may irritate the surrounding
tissue with an accidental slip of the hand. By removing this risk,
our patients can undergo the same dental procedures but with a
faster recovery time. Simultaneously, our patients are more
comfortable than if the procedure was performed in the traditional
manner. For example, laser dental fillings in Larchmont, achieve
the same results but without the discomfort. Simultaneously, lasers
can also be used to help stop the bleeding so that when a more
intensive procedure is being performed, gauze may be unnecessary or
only used temporarily. Patients throughout NY, appreciate the
opportunity to have dental work completed in this non-invasive way.
If you would like to experience laser dentistry for yourself, we
invite you to call 914-834-9534 and schedule an
appointment.

Laser Gum Surgery in
Larchmont
Perhaps one of the most significant advances that laser dentistry
has made is associated with treating gum disease. This condition is
so common that most adults will suffer from some form of gum
disease in their lifetime. The symptoms typically start with red,
swollen, and bleeding gums but if left untreated, it can lead to
gum recession. Receding gums are particularly dangerous because
more of the tooth and roots will become exposed and open for attack
by bacteria. Many people suffer bone and tooth loss as a result.
Treating gum disease, therefore, is critical for preserving your
teeth as you age. The traditional method of treatment involves
pulling the gums away from the tooth and using metal dental tools
to scrape off the bacteria, plaque and tartar that has formed on
the tooth but underneath the gums. This can be uncomfortable to say
the least. Laser dentistry has completely changed the procedure. We
offer periodontic care, and our patients can have their gum disease
treated by using lasers to break up the plaque and tartar. This
will remove the irritant that is causing the gum disease in the
first place. Typically, the gums will then return to good health.
Since this is a non-invasive procedure, our patients start to feel
better right away. Not all dentists in the 10538 area offer this
new method of treating gum disease, making it important to visit a
laser dentistry office.
Laser Teeth Whitening
At Joel F. Levy D.D.S. – Laser Assisted – Cosmetic & Restorative
Dentistry, we can transform your ordinary smile into something
truly beautiful. If you are tired of having yellow or stained
teeth, you are not alone. In our laser dentistry office, we can
perform an in-office whitening treatment with dramatic results.
Your teeth can become eight shades whiter or more in a single
sitting. The lasers essentially activate the whitening solution
that is placed on your teeth. This means that your teeth will
whiten much faster than if you treated them at home. While the
results are stunning, the procedure is still entirely safe, making
it an excellent solution for improving your appearance. You can
also whiten your teeth using custom-made whitening trays, and while
this works, it can take a week or two to achieve the same results
that we can get in an hour. When trying to decide which option to
select, consider how much time you have to spend whitening your
teeth and whether or not you have an immediate event that you want
your teeth whitened for. If you are pressed for time, you should
definitely have an in-office laser whitening treatment. We can
schedule you and improve your smile in time for a new job
interview, family vacation, wedding, etc.
When you visit Joel F. Levy D.D.S. – Laser Assisted – Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, you can count on us to provide you with the highest quality of dental care and do so in a way that is relaxing and comfortable. By offering laser dental treatments, we eliminate the vibration, heat and pressure that generally causes discomfort during dental procedures. In fact, we even offer fillings without the need to use a drill. Laser dentistry is used in our office so that we can achieve our goal of keeping you comfortable. The technology is continuing to change and improve so if there are procedures that we are still using traditional dental tools for, we expect all or most of them to eventually be done using lasers. For now, we have implemented the use of lasers in our procedures to place dental veneers, fillings, crowns, dental implants, to whiten teeth, and treat gum disease, among others. If you want to learn more about how we use laser technology currently, call Joel F. Levy D.D.S. – Laser Assisted – Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry and schedule an appointment with our 10538 dental office.
