Laser Dentistry improves smiles in Portland, Maine

Laser dentistry has been gaining in popularity since the 1990's. Although it has become more common in recent years, the use of lasers still is limited to use by qualified cosmetic dentists such as Dr. Michael Bufo.

Dr. Bufo has practiced cosmetic dentistry in Maine since 1990, and opened Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ in Scarborough, ME in 2004. As an LVI-trained dentist, Dr. Bufo is knowledgeable in the latest laser dentistry techniques and procedures, including gum contouring and periodontal therapy.
