One of the South East's leading cosmetic dentist practices has become one of a select few in the UK to offer laser dentistry. The Perfect Smile Studios & Institute offer state-of-the-art laser techniques in order to provide patients seeking cosmetic dentistry with more precise treatments while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

Favoured by dentists accustomed to treating anxious or nervous patients, laser dentistry rules out many of the unpleasant side effects caused by some dental procedures. As the laser allows focus on very specific areas without damage to surrounding tissue, local anaesthetic is unnecessary for treatments such as fillings. The dreaded drill can also be left to one side.

Dr Rahul Doshi, Partner at The Perfect Smile Studios & Institute said, “The list of benefits of laser dentistry is really quite extensive. It's quick and painless with little or no local anaesthesia needed. By allowing a skilled dentist to focus on very specific areas of the mouth, teeth and gums, post operative discomfort is greatly reduced. We've found that offering laser treatments to patients who are very anxious about dental treatments and visits to the dentist puts them immediately at ease as they recognise that treatment is over and done with much quicker, with no stitches (if surgical procedures were required) and very little bleeding as the laser helps the blood to coagulate.”

Laser dentistry is currently being successfully used in a number of treatments at The Perfect Smile Studies and Institute. One of the areas it is most commonly used is to tackle gum disease. The treatment is painless and can be used over a number of sessions to great effect. Because the laser energy is antibacterial, killing the bacteria that cause gum disease, the process treats the cause as well as the symptoms.

Other applications include cosmetic dental procedures such as crown lengthening. A technique used to improve the appearance of worn-down teeth. A smile damaged in this way would conventionally be treated using a scalpel but can now be corrected with a laser. If gum contouring is needed to rectify uneven gum lines and improve the appearance of a smile, this can also be treated with the painless application of a laser to the desired area.

Already used in traditional medicine, it is estimated that laser dentistry will develop to similar levels, allowing for more complex treatments and less painful procedures. As one of very few UK aesthetic dentists to offer laser dentistry treatments, the cosmetic dentists at The Perfect Smile Studios have attended training sessions and seminars in both Germany and the USA to advance their skills. They also teach dentists about lasers at The Perfect Smile Institute. The Perfect Smile Studios & Institute is registered and approved by the Healthcare Commission, ensuring high standards of safety and care.
