My Veneer Story
I was never happy with the way my teeth looked. I wasn't happy with the positioning, they were a little "bunny" like and I wasn't happy with the color. Being uncomfortable with your teeth can definatley change a person, often times you don't know how much being uncomfortable changes you until you are no longer dealing with that issue. For me the issue was my teeth. I was not interested in having braces at this point in my life so I opted for the easier faster option... veneers. In two appointments I had a new, beautiful smile. Before we began the veneer process I was able to see a wax mock up of what my new smile would look like. From that moment on I felt very confident that I was making the right decision. 
I couldn't be happier with my new smile. It has increased my confidence and changed the way that I interact with others. Click here for more before and after pictures Smile by Rochester Advanced DentistryLabels: Clarkston, Laser teeth cleaning, shelby, troy, veneers

Laser Teeth Cleaning
- The energy emitted from the laser light sterilizes bacteria found in the mouth; one of the main health concerns in dentistry is bacteria entering the blood stream- this step reduces the risk
- Another setting on the laser allows your dental hygienist to kill bacteria deeper under the tissue, this bacteria is responsible for gum disease and periodontal disease, previously this bacteria was almost impossible to reach
- The laser is also used to remove diseased tissue allowing new healthy tissue to grow - previously this was done with metal instruments. The laser facilitates better, faster healing with less postoperative discomfort
Do laser dental cleanings hurt?
- No, the laser setting is very low so in most cases the patient doesn't feel anything, for patients with extremely sensitive gum tissue a topical or local anesthetic may be recommended to eliminate any sensation
What should I expect following the laser cleaning?
- Following a laser cleaning you may be instructed to use a special mouth wash or to avoid flossing the area for a day or two
- There are no physical or dietary restrictions following a laser cleaning
- There is no pain following a laser cleaning
