Chicago Laser Dentistry

Dr. Karen Blair often uses laser dentistry for fillings and for certain gum and aesthetic treatments. The thing many people like about laser dentistry is that there is no drilling involved, no noise, and it is very clean. The laser removes the diseased and weak parts of the tooth. It doesn't even require you to have novocain, though most patients still choose to be numb through the procedure. Few dentists in Chicago are using this technique yet, though we imagine that in time many will turn to it because of its tremendous advantages.

Then, with today's bonding technology, the white composite filling can be placed in your tooth, and it will be restored to look practically the same as it did before it ever had a cavity. White composite fillings are fully hard when you leave the office, and they have very little post-operative sensitivity. So there will be no eating restrictions and in most cases no hot and cold sensitivity as you had with the old-fashioned silver-mercury amalgam fillings. You'll be able to laugh and talk without being embarrassed about showing ugly dental work in your mouth. Furthermore, since the fillings will be bonded to your tooth, your teeth will be stronger and less likely to break. Chicago laser dentistry—it's the wave of the future.

These are type of white composite fillings that Dr. Blair does  using laser dentistry.
