Cosmetic Dentist in West Orange Offers Advanced Dental Treatment with Laser Dentistry

    WEST ORANGE, NJ, September 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- New Jersey top dentist, Dr. Ivan Stein of Northfield Dental Group, is treating patients with more precision and efficiency with recent advancements in dental technology. New laser devices enable Dr. Stein to provide the best possible care in his Livingston office.

Laser dentistry is a form of dentistry that allows for the treatment of highly specific areas by laser without damaging the surrounding tissues. For years lasers have been used in dentistry to treat a number of dental problems and they continue to improve and grow in popularity.

"The use of lasers allows me to perform procedures quicker, more effectively and more comfortably than ever before. This makes treatment time shorter and allows me to make my patients comfortable while they are receiving treatment. From routine cleanings to more advanced procedures such as root canal therapy, I can successfully treat my patients and provide them with a more relaxed dental experience," said Dr. Ivan Stein, cosmetic dentist in Livingston and West Orange.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of a variety of hard and soft tissue lasers for use in the dental treatments of adults and children. Hard tissue lasers have a wavelength that is highly absorbable by hydroxyapatite and water, which makes them more effective for cutting through tooth structure. The primary use of hard tissue lasers is to cut unto bone and teeth with extreme precision. They are often used in prepping or shaping the teeth for composite bonding, the removal of small amounts of tooth structure and the repair of certain worn down dental fillings.

Soft tissue lasers consist of a wavelength that is absorbable by water and hemoglobin, which is oxygenating protein in red blood cells. This makes soft tissue lasers more effective for soft tissue management. Soft tissue lasers penetrate the soft tissue while sealing blood vessels and nerve endings. This is the primary reason why many people experience virtually no post-operative pain following the use of a laser and allow the tissues to heal faster.

From routine cleanings to cosmetic fillings in Livingston patients turn to Dr. Ivan Stein for the most up-to-date procedures and treatments. Laser dentistry represents an innovative and more precise technology for specific hard and soft tissue procedures, further proving Dr. Stein's commitment to providing patients with a more relaxed dental experience.
