The use of lasers in dentistry has become more popular for several reasons. Laser surgery reduces the amount of anesthesia needed, controls swelling and bleeding, and minimizes postoperative discomfort. It also reduces the amount of bacteria associated with dental infections. Dr. Bednarski is one of the premiere laser dentists St. Louis Missouri.

Update
In October 2007, our office purchased the highest standard of dental laser technology in the world: The Waterlase MD

With this updated version of our previous laser, we can continue to deliver the highest quality of dentistry. We can make your dental experience more comfortable by using fewer shots and less anesthesia while performing a wide range of procedures on teeth, gums and bone.

There are several advantages to using the Waterlase:

Your comfort: The Waterlase cuts without heat, pressure or vibration, which are the primary causes of pain.

Fewer dental visits: Since shots or anesthesia may not be needed with the Waterlase, we may be able to perform treatment in several areas of your mouth, requiring fewer visits.

Less swelling and bleeding: The Waterlase cuts gently and coagulates the tissues with little or no bleeding and less post-operative swelling.

With dentists St. Loui Missouri, there are all kinds of procedures that can be performed with the Waterlase MD. Since it is both a hard and soft tissues laser, tooth, bone and gum procedures are done with comfort and ease. The following procedures can be performed in our office using the new Waterlase MD:

• Decay Removal


• Cavity Preparations for Fillings


• Fillings performed on children with no shots or anesthesia


• Root Canals


• Gum Recontouring/Redesigning Your Smile


• Crown Preparations


• Periodontal (gum) Surgeries


• All aspects of surgeries concerning the soft tissues of the mouth, as well as hard tissues like teeth and bone
