Laser Dentistry and Teeth Whitening for Minneapolis and St. Paul

Across the field of medical science, lasers of all kinds have radically transformed the way doctors manage the health of their patients.

At our Minneapolis-area practice, we are able to use lasers for a wide variety of procedures; they are safe, effective, and give patients an amazingly pain-free experience.

Laser Teeth Whitening

In addition to our at-home Excel® teeth whitening system, Henrickson Dental offers revolutionary laser teeth whitening for our Minneapolis and St. Paul-area patients. This pain-free procedure leaves teeth whiter and brighter in less than half the time of non-laser in-office whitening systems. After just 25 minutes, your teeth could be as many as nine shades whiter. The doctors use the LaserSmile™ system for teeth whitening.

With LaserSmile™, patients can not only improve the color of their teeth but the health of their gums as well. LaserSmile™ whitening requires just five easy steps. First, the patient’s teeth are isolated from the lips and gum tissue. This protects the sensitive soft tissue and allows the teeth to receive focused laser energy. Next, the isolated teeth are uniformly coated with the specialized LaserSmile™ whitening gel. After the gel has been evenly applied, the laser is carefully directed at the teeth, and the whitening process takes place. Finally, the teeth are rinsed, and the patient can see the incredible results of the LaserSmile™ treatment right away.

If you would like to improve the appearance of your smile with laser teeth whitening at our practice near Minneapolis and St. Paul, please contact Henrickson Dental.

Other Laser Dentistry Treatments

Aside from teeth whitening, there is a myriad of other laser dentistry procedures that painlessly and efficiently improve the overall oral health of our patients. In fact, lasers can be used to treat both soft and hard tissue in the mouth: from infected root canals to receding gum lines, lasers can just about do it all. What’s more, lasers allow us to execute complex procedures in less time and with less need for anesthesia.

At Henrickson Dental, we use both the LaserSmile™ and Waterlase® systems to perform a number of procedures, including:

In addition to using lasers to perform cosmetic and restorative procedures, Dr. Myron and Dr. Mike have the added advantage of the DIAGNOdent® cavity detection laser. By simply sweeping the small, pen-like device across the surface of the teeth, the doctors can find the beginnings of decay in even the hard-to-reach places. And earlier detection often means easier treatment for our patients.
