Dental Anxiety

Yes, laser dentistry is transforming how dental procedures are being completed. When you visit our 60443 dental office, you can be confident that we will use the latest technology available to make your procedure more comfortable. Lasers allow us to do so because the laser energy is fine and can target small spaces without irritating the surrounding tissue. This reduces discomfort and recovery time. Lasers are also less invasive than traditional dental tools which means that there are less bleeding and swelling than there would be otherwise. They can be used in treating tooth decay, gum disease, and in restorative procedures. If you want a more comfortable experience and to reduce your dental anxiety, we highly recommend visiting a laser dentistry office. To learn about the procedures that we perform using lasers, call (708) 980-0110 and schedule an appointment to speak with Dr. Durr. At Progressive Dental & Associates, we have found that when lasers are used many of our patients no longer need sedation or pain medication because the common factors that create fear of dentists are eliminated. For example, the noise, heat, and vibration that is traditionally associated with the dental drill are not present when using lasers.
