Advanced Dental Care in Milwaukee's East Side

Located in Milwaukee's scenic East Side, Lake Park Dental brings the latest advances in laser dentistry to our health-conscious community. Dr. Meggie Graham integrates this sophisticated technology with our holistic approach to dental care, serving patients from Whitefish Bay, Shorewood, and throughout Milwaukee who seek gentle, effective treatment options.

Understanding Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry represents a significant advancement in dental care, using focused light energy to perform precise treatments with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. This technology allows us to provide more comfortable care while supporting your body's natural healing abilities.

Our advanced dental lasers can treat both soft tissue (gums) and hard tissue (teeth), offering remarkable precision for a wide range of procedures. The focused laser energy allows us to treat specific areas while preserving healthy tissue, resulting in more comfortable treatment and faster recovery.

Natural Benefits of Laser Treatment

The precision of laser dentistry brings several advantages that align with our holistic approach to dental care. The focused light energy promotes natural healing processes while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. This gentle approach often results in reduced swelling and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

Many patients appreciate that laser treatments frequently require less anesthesia, and some procedures can be performed with minimal or no numbing. The laser's precision also means we can preserve more of your natural tooth structure during procedures, supporting our conservative approach to dental care.

Common Laser Dentistry Applications

Our dental laser technology serves multiple purposes in supporting your oral health:

Gentle Gum Care

The laser provides precise treatment for gum disease, carefully removing infected tissue while promoting healing. This approach is particularly effective for treating periodontal pockets while encouraging healthy gum reattachment.

Conservative Cavity Treatment

When treating cavities, laser technology allows us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure. The precision of the laser means we can often remove only the decayed portion while leaving healthy tooth material intact.

Comfortable Soft Tissue Procedures

For procedures involving soft tissue, such as treating canker sores or performing frenectomies, the laser offers exceptional precision with minimal discomfort. The technology often eliminates the need for sutures and promotes rapid healing.

The gentle approach of laser treatment requires minimal or no anesthesia for many procedures.
