Our office incorporates dental laser therapy to allow for a stress-free, no shots, no drills, comfortable experience for the entire family. Thanks to BIOLASE technology, your child can also enjoy a faster recovery time. Our St. Charles children’s laser dentist, Dr. Joshi, has years of experience in utilizing the BIOLASE technology for a range of procedures. Your child is in trusted, experienced hands.
BIOLASE dental lasers are FDA approved. Incorporating a laser into your child’s dental procedure ensures a higher level of accuracy and a practically pain-free procedure. Instead of utilizing traditional surgical methods, lasers use a highly powered beam of light energy to treat specific concerns in a minimally invasive manner.
Laser dentistry allows our dental office to provide a more gentle, less stressful and comfortable experience for patients of all ages. It also allows us to enhance treatments we were previously doing and increase the amount of treatments we can offer our patients. Our laser can provide cold sore therapy, cavity repair without the need of a dental drill, frenectomies, treat “gummy” smiles, be used in conjunction with orthodontic treatment and much more. See below for some of our most common laser dentistry services:
Catching tooth decay early means it’s possible to repair the area without having to use shots or drills. A small laser dental filling is extremely gentle for children and helps promote an environment where young patients can look forward to their dental appointment. No shots, no drilling and no pain for children’s cavity repair is a huge win and one of our favorite ways to utilize our laser.
Tongue ties can be quite problematic, especially for newborns. With limited tongue movement, latching to feed can be extremely difficult (and even painful for nursing mothers.) Fortunately, tongue-tie treatment with a laser is safe for infants and can be completed in a matter of a few minutes.
Lip ties and tongue ties alike can inhibit normal speech development in children of all ages. By releasing the tight strip of skin just behind the lip, it’s easier for your child to smile with confidence, eat more easily, and speak more clearly.
Teens (and adults) love our Epic laser teeth whitening. They often use this after their orthodontic treatment to help get their teeth 6-12 shades whiter and brighter! If you’re curious as to how this works, give our office a call!
