Dental Lasers

Lasers can be used for a variety of dental procedures. Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers can be used to specifically target soft tissue lesions or growths and remove them without disturbing healthy tissue. Bleeding is so well controlled with Lasers that sutures (stitches) are usually not needed. In addition, the removal of the tissue is so fast and painless that injections are usually not needed either. Lasers can be used for crown lengthening, tooth whitening, and for gum surgery to improve loose or diseased gum attachment to the tooth.

Our Approach

Dr. Froum is the Director of Clinical Research at the Department of Periodontics and Implant Dentistry at New York University Dental Center. Dr. Froum teaches practicing dentists and dental specialists who return to school to learn advanced implant procedures.

Because of this and his extensive experience treating his patients in his own private practice, Dr. Froum offers the most current techniques in implant treatment. Whether replacing a single missing tooth or multiple teeth, implants are a reliable method of restoring teeth without having to cut down good teeth for crown placement or having to wear removable bridges. We realize that all patients have different problems and you may have questions regarding your situation. This web site is designed to introduce you to our office, learn how we can help you and see what type of results are possible.

Cosmetic Procedures

These are designed to improve the look of your smile, gums, and teeth. Gum addition or reshaping allows the veneers (laminates) crowns or restorations to look natural so you can smile with confidence. Dr. Froum performs procedures to reverse gum shrinkage (gum line recession) and to cover unsightly areas so you don't look long in the tooth.
