Laser tooth whitening is common at BDC and only one of the many uses of this new technology. Laser dentistry, used widely at BDC, helps to make dental treatments more comfortable, reduces bleeding during gum line and periodontal disease surgeries and assists to decrease swelling, infection and post treatment pain. In soft tissue surgeries, it also can eliminate the need for stitches.

The fact that using this technological breakthrough in my practice is making my patients more comfortable, and frankly, making procedures tolerable for the sensitive ones, is just astounding,” remarks Dr. Rajeev on laser dentistry. “We frequently use it to lift a patient’s gumline when creating a fuller smile, and lasers are used beautifully in periodontal disease treatments, where scaling of the exposed root area under the gum line used to be so very painful.”
