Laser Dental Treatments in New York City, NY

At our New York City dental center, we perform dental laser therapy to provide more precise results, save teeth that would otherwise have to be removed, treat gum disease, and more. The details of your treatment will vary based on your particular treatment. We will go over what, exactly, to expect prior to your treatment. It's likely we'll provide a local anesthetic to make you more comfortable during your visit. However, laser treatments are often less discomforting than traditional treatment methods and have minimal bleeding. This typically eliminates the need for stitches and provides faster recovery.

We will provide you with recovery instructions based on your treatment. We will give you everything you need to know for optimal at-home healing, and, of course, you should feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. In some cases, your gums may be swollen and sore. In these cases, we suggest you follow a liquid- or soft-food diet for a few days until the swelling and soreness go down. If you had a gum treatment, it's likely we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to check on your healing and determine if additional treatment is needed. The good news is that dental laser therapy causes a lot less trauma to the mouth than standard treatments, so your recovery period should be minimal, and you should be able to get back to your normal activities shortly after your appointment.
