Smile in the City Dental Group Now Offering Laser Treatment to Lighten Dark Gums
New York, NY, November 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Smile in the City Dental Group's New York periodontist Dr. Joseph Zelig announced they are now offering a new laser treatment for dark gums that lightens the hyper pigmentation, or dark areas of the gums.

Using Waterlase™ technology, Dr. Zelig can painlessly and accurately remove the dark spots and discoloration of the gums. Patients who have dark complexions usually select the procedure to eliminate these problem areas.

Laser treatment of dark gums is painless, and can be done in as little as one office visit. The procedure requires only local anesthetic and usually results in minimal pain. The healing time is usually very brief.

"Having a bright, natural-looking smile with pink and healthy looking gums changes the way people think about themselves. It gives them a boost of confidence; they smile more, feel more outgoing, and seem more approachable. Eliminating dark spots and discoloration from your gums with laser surgery is a quick and easy way to accomplish this," says Dr. Zelig of Smile in the City Dental Group.

The New York periodontist went on to say, "Most people don't realize that healthy looking gums are one of the most notable things about their smile. Gums offer a setting for the teeth. If the setting isn’t attractive, then neither is the finished smile. I love seeing the look on patients’ faces when they smile in the mirror for the first time and see that beautiful smile reflecting back at them!"

Appointments for the laser treatment are currently available through the Smile in the City website (http://www.smileinthecity.com). Clients will be contacted within 24 hours to confirm. Smile in the City offers evening appointments on Mondays and Wednesdays and early morning appointments throughout the week.
