Shaping Your Smile With Laser Dentistry

New Beauty Magazine

"We treat the overall beauty of a person rather than just the individual teeth." Dr. Flax, DDS

Dr. Flax has lectured extensively on the use and benefits of lasers in aesthetic dentistry and is well-versed about the subject. The doctor uses lasers in his own practice for a variety of cosmetic applications, including crown lengthening, troughing for instant impressions and, in conjunction with porcelain veneers, when performing smile makeovers.

“Today’s lasers can give patients the option of NO NEEDLES, NO ANESTHESIA, AND LITTLE DISCOMFORT for many procedures. It allows us to be more conservative in the care we give and greatly assists dentists in RESTORATIVE DENTAL work while giving patients fantastic results,” says Dr. Flax. “For example, we utilize a Waterlase YSGG all-tissue laser for what we call a CLOSED FLAP TECHNIQUE in which we are able to sculpt and shape the patient’s gum to achieve a more desirable smile. This technique gives our patients a level of comfort since the laser is painless and, best of all, the treatment yields extremely beautiful results.
