Are you looking for laser dentistry in Chicago, Illinois? Laser dentistry can benefit many oral health problems, including gum disease, gummy smile, tooth decay, discoloration. It can even help with wound healing or cold sore treatment and even rejuvenate skin and reduce wrinkles.
Dental lasers have become a revolution in the dental field, making treatments faster, more effective and more satisfying to patients and dentists than they have ever been. Laser technology has been around for 50 years, but the research done in the past two decades has led to a new generation of dental lasers, like Fotona LightWalker. At Archer Dental Chicago we stay on top of the latest science in dental technology. Dr. Anton Zhadovich recently added a Fotona Lightwalker Laser to the office to expand the range of dental and cosmetic treatments and enhance precision and patient comfort.
The FDA approved dental lasers to be safe for use in dental office in 1990. Since then, the application of lasers with hard (teeth) and soft tissues has received a lot of attention from scientists and dentists. As a patient of Archer Dental, you may benefit from laser dentistry in many ways.
Use of the laser in various dental procedures proved to be an effective tool to increase efficiency, precision, ease, cost and comfort of the dental treatment. If during your next visit one of our dentist offers to do a treatment using our LightWalker laser, no need to feel intimidated. Its a good thing! If you would like to read about how our laser works, read the rest of the article. We made the information easy to understand for our patients!
The term LASER is an acronym and stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Normal light, like from a light bulb, consists of variety of wavelengths and spreads in all directions. Laser light, however, is set to a specific wavelength and is focused in a narrow beam. These characteristics allow the machine to create a very high-intensity light. Dental lasers use the energy generated by electron shifts of atoms, producing visible light, ultraviolet or infrared radiation. Being able to focus the light very accurately on tiny areas is what makes lasers so great for very precise surgical work or for cutting through tissue (in place of a scalpel). In other cases, laser can be set up in a way to target body's natural healing process to lift, tighten, and tone sagging and loose skin.
Dont let that word scare you the thermal radiation produced by a laser is non-ionizing, and is not the type of radiation you think of when youre being warned against exposure. Radiation emitted by lasers can be visible, in form of a light. Other lasers can emit radiation that is invisible to the human eye, ultraviolet or infrared radiation. In general, laser radiation is not in itself harmful, and behaves much like ordinary light in its interaction with the body, it does not harm the DNA of the cells and can not cause cancer.
Lasers deliver energy in the form of light. When a dentist aims the laser at the specific tissue, this light will be absorbed by the tissue and thats where the magic (read: science) happens. There are a number of photobiological effects this interaction can have that are useful for our patients:
Periodontal disease affects approximately 80% of adults, and were learning more about it every day. It is known that a bacterial infection is what affects periodontal disease and now with lasers we can to do more than just remove mechanical irritants and diseased tissue (a traditional cleaning). With lasers we can address the bacteria underlying this infection by decontaminating the area. This decontamination is important for three key reasons:
Are your front teeth different lengths or seem very short? If so, it may actually be the current positioning of your gingiva at fault. Our laser can be used to quickly and easily remove this extra tissue and help create a beautiful smile!
Prior to laser dentistry, a drill would be required to prepare the tooth for a filling. For many even the sound of dental drill can be uncomfortable. Good news is that lasers can now completely eliminate the need for drilling and anesthesia.
Another upside of using lasers for removing dental cavities is safety and precision. Traditional dental drills remove large amounts of tissue, and the constant spinning of a drill bur can cause cracks in the tooth enamel if done incorrectly. Using Fotona Lightwalker laser, out dental team can revoke very precise amounts of tooth, without damaging or cracking the healthy part of the tooth.
Lasers also successfully kill oral bacteria around the surgical site. This is important, because if bacteria is still trapped under the new filling, another cavity will start to form. With laser, the surface is completely disinfected and ensures that the filling is good quality and long lasting.
The doctor will discuss with you and decide when the laser can be used to improve outcomes of various procedures. Many procedures can be performed without a shot and you will just feel warmth on the area we are working on.
The laser beam is extremely bright, and special glasses will be provided to protect the eyes. The procedure will take far less time than conventional methods, and cause far less anxiety and discomfort.
If you are interested in a new, fresh approach to dental care and considering laser dentistry, we invite you to Archer Dental in Chicago. Call (773) 581-1345 and experience the difference that laser dentistry can make.
A surgical procedure that reduces gum tissue to expose more of the tooth surface. Some people seek crown lengthening to alter a gummy smile, in which the gums are visible above the teeth when smiling.
Periodontal pockets are spaces between the gum line and the teeth, that have become infected. When left untreated, these pockets can lead to tooth loss. Periodontal pockets are one of the major signs of gum disease.
A condition which causes the inner (dentin) layer of tooth to become exposed. This condition can develop as a result of receding gums. Patients experience sharp pain due to pressure or hot/cold beverages.
Frenulum is a small fold of tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving too far. In dentistry, frenulum is referred to lingual or labial frenulum. Frenectomy is a process of removing or modifying that tissue.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium, that is placed into your jaw bone to hold a replacement tooth (crown), bridge or an over-denture. Ttitanium is able to integrate with the surrounding bone and become part of the body, so it's completely bio-compatible. Dental implants are an effective, safe and predictable solution to missing teeth.
Having all teeth in place, you will be able to smile, eat, and speak better. More importantly dental implants prevent the onset of poor facial profile due to the loss of bone mass in your jawbone. Dental Implants prevent bone loss by transmitting load forces during the chewing process down into the jawbone. The jawbone reacts to this loading by increasing the bone density. Dental Implants are well known in their ability to stop bone loss and restore facial skeletal structure while significantly improving digestion.
Dental implants are the best option for adults whose jawbones arefully-developed . An ideal candidate is a patient with general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to an accident, gum disease, injury, or some other reason. It is important that you have enough dental bone to support the implant. There are some health conditions which warrant special consideration. Certain chronic diseases, heavy smoking, or alcohol abuse may contraindicate implant treatment.

Aesthetic braces and invisible orthodontic appliances are becoming more sophisticated every day. Invisalign system is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world. The technology is backed by two decades of innovation and over 10 million successful transformaitons. Invisalign is a set of plastic aligners that are clear and work to move your teeth in the right position over time. Invisalign can help many patients who have mild to moderate misalignment and can also align the bite. Patients with overbite, crossbite, or underbite can benefit from Invisalign treatment. The treatment is done using clear plastic aligner trays to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. The plastic aligners are supposed to be worn for at least 20 hours a day. The trays can be easily removed during meal time or important social events. This allows patients to maintain their oral health, floss and brush as usual, without having to worry about braces and wires.
Invisalign system consists of a series of aligners, that are worn for 7-14 days each, depending on your case. In order to create this seried of aligners, that will move your teeth, a digital impression is needed. At Archer Dental Chicago, our Invisalign dentist uses the iTero Scanner, best intramural scanner for Invisalign. After the scan, your Invisalign dentist will plan your treatment, design your aligners and send digital information to the lab, when aligners will be 3D printed. The aligners are made out of a special thermoplastic material. Invisalign aligners are durable and strong, but at the same time flexible in order to be comfortable when worn for long periods of time. The material is translucent and barely noticeable on the teeth.
Invisalign aligners are meant be worn for 22 hours a day to reach maximum effect. You will have several aligners from the sequence, so that in 2 weeks you can wear the next set of aligners. Throughout the treatment, aligners will gradually move your teeth into place. Once you are done wearing your aligners, your teeth should be perfectly straight.
The first step is to make sure if Invisalign is right for you. In most dental cases, it works just as well as traditional braces, but for severe straightening or re-spacing, traditional braces may still be preferable.
Dr. Anton Zhadovich will work with you to customize your Invisalign program. With the help of a 3D imaging technology, you'll be able to virtually preview how your own smile will adjust to Invisalign over the course of the treatment. This is a valuable incentive and shows you what you can expect before committing to Invisalign.
