A Beautiful And Healthy Smile Without Needles Or Drills!

Good News for Today’s Kids

Going to the dentist for a check-up can seem scary enough for your kids. Even more fear can develop when they find out something is wrong and learn that a painful shot and noisy drill will be required to fix it! Laser dentistry has completely changed the dental experience for kids today. This technology provides a no-drill method that, in most cases, eliminates the need for anesthetics.

About Laser Dentistry

Dr. Lynda Dean-Duru offers advanced dentistry through laser technology to provide your children with minimally invasive treatment. With the proficient WaterLase^{^®} dental laser, we can perform comfortable and pain-free procedures without their lips, cheeks, and tongue being numb for hours! We use the WaterLase^{^®} for a variety of procedures, including:

Laser fillings: The WaterLase^{^®} detects and removes only the decayed areas, leaving healthy tooth structure and gum tissue intact.
Frenectomy: We release lip and “tongue-ties” to improve many oral, speech, and social problems that can occur. The procedure increases breast-feeding success and improves painful symptoms of an improper latch.
Treats canker sores: Bio-stimulation settings promote the body’s natural healing properties.
Soft-tissue surgery: We can eliminate soft tissue lesions, remove excess gum tissue, and expertly sculpt the gum line for a healthier mouth.
