Laser dentistry utilizes precise laser energy to perform a wide range of dental procedures with more efficiency and less pain. Its been approved by the FDA for more than 20 years, and in that time, dental lasers have become more advanced than ever before. Laser dentistry is safe and effective for kids, teens and adults!

The BIOLASE laser often eliminates the need for needles, drills, and sutures. Instead, it offers a safe and gentle alternative to traditional dental tools by combining water, air, and laser energy. We love using this laser dentistry tool to help your child have a positive, rewarding dental experience. Parents ask us all the time if we can use it on them!

Normally, filling a cavity with a tooth-colored filling requires a needle to insert a numbing agent into the area and a drill to remove the decayed portion of the tooth. But thats not a very comfortable process for young children!

Thats why our team fills cavities using laser dentistry instead. This gentle way to remove cavities uses laser energy and the spray of water to remove decay without the heat, vibration, noise, or pressure caused by dental drills. Shots to numb the area are typically not needed either. Its kids cavity repair with no shots, no drills, and no pain!

If your teenager wants whiter teeth, a take-home whitening kit from the drug store isnt the best option. Theyre known to burn the gums, trigger sensitivity of tooth enamel, and deliver inconsistent, short-lived results. Here at DPD Smiles, we offer Epic laser teeth whitening to help the teeth appear 6-12 shades lighter with less than 20 minutes of gel-to-tooth contact time.

Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are small groups of blisters that develop on the lip or around the mouth. Since theyre triggered by a virus, cold sores can spread through touch, shared utensils, and kissing. If you suffer from cold sores, you know how frustrating and embarrassing these outbreaks can be. Laser therapy offers a fast, efficient way to help prevent and treat cold sores with rapid healing time.

Laser energy destroys the virus causing cold sores to provide immediate relief. You can receive painless cold sore laser therapy as soon as that trademark tingling begins to signal an oncoming cold sore. Laser cold sore treatment will drastically reduce the duration of the outbreak if you call as soon as you feel this tingling. Treatment only takes a few minutes and doesnt require any anesthesia! For Wheaton cold sore treatment, contact us right away.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your childs jaw to their temporal bone. Healthy TMJs allow the jaw to move up, down, and side to side as your child yawns, chews, talks, and smiles. However, the TMJ is known to experience injury or dysfunction that results in serious pain.

If your child is experiencing TMJ pain, call DPD Smiles for TMJ laser therapy. Research shows that laser therapy can significantly reduce TMJ pain and improve joint function. It's a safe, painless procedure that produces a warming sensation over the affected TMJ tissues. By reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow, laser therapy offers a non-invasive TMJ pain treatment with no negative side effects.

A frenectomy is a simple procedure that removes or reduces connective tissue (frenum) from under the tongue or upper gums. It sounds painful, but thanks to cutting-edge dental technology, a frenectomy has never been easier.

If your child is born with lip-tie or tongue-tie, come to our office for a bladeless, sutureless, painless treatment solution. Using the Waterlase laser that combines light energy with water, Dr. Joshi can expertly eliminate the tissue causing a lip-tie or tongue-tie. We promise a gentle, stress-free experience that makes it possible for your child to eat, talk, and drink without any difficulty.

Gingival exposure is simply a fancy way to describe the process of removing extra gum tissue. If your child has a gummy smile or needs to prepare for orthodontic treatment, we use gentle laser therapy to trim away the gum tissue. This is a painless process that doesnt cause bleeding, swelling, or trauma to the mouth.

Dr. Joshi is a native of Cary, North Carolina, raised with a good balance of both Eastern and Western cultures. This has helped her hone her skills, recognize cultural approaches to health care and provide personalized dental care for her patients. She has a large, loud and fun family that she considers her 'village' and foundation. She is very family-oriented and aims to make DPD Smiles feel like family!

Since Dr. Joshi took over leadership of DuPage Pediatric Dentistry and rebranded to DPD Smiles, she has not only grown her dental home from a pediatric practice to a multi-specialty group, but also grown her family. Only a year after being married, Dr. Joshi joined the local community and turned this practice into a family run organization. Wanting a personal touch, she and her husband have spent countless hours going above and beyond to offer exceptional care for her patients and families. While doing all that, she managed to find time to grow her own family. Dr. Joshi and Ajay are now proud parents of an adorable baby boy, Sahil, and therapy dogs, Saya and Vani! In her free time, Dr. Joshi loves spending time in the outdoors, dancing, playing card and board games and traveling.

In short, it is needless to say based on personality but moreover affirmed that Dr. Joshi simply enjoys making people smile and giving them the confidence to smile freely! Her favorite part of each day is having her patients leave the clinic just as happy (if not more) as they came in. She enjoys working with kids, being goofy and silly with them, and of course hearing all the fun and interesting topics they have to share. Her patients area always teaching her a new way to view the world, which allows her to grow individually and expand her passion for clinical excellence. This motivation 'don 't stop won 't stop' is why coming in to the clinic is not a job but rather a way of life. She lives by the saying, don 't stop won 't stop!
