The notion of going under the drill at the dentist inevitably brings to mind the noise, vibration, and needle-induced numbness that come along with the procedure. But Dr. Michael Contardo’s patients at Laser Dentistry in St. Joseph experience none of that. The new laser tool he uses to perform dental work is essentially anesthesia-free and non-disruptive to the patient’s day. And at this time, Laser Dentistry is the only clinic in the state of Minnesota providing this specific alternative laser treatment. |
“We chose the laser because it’s much less invasive for patients, who at our clinic span from young children to the elderly,” explained Contardo. “Laser therapy is faster than traditional methods, produces no vibration, little noise, and allows patients to resume their day as soon as the work is complete. It has revolutionized the way we provide dental care because of these immediate benefits to patients.”

“I originally started my own practice because I wanted to be able to take the extra time I thought was necessary to really care for each of my patients on a personalized level,” said Contardo. “I want them to feel like their time spent here at our clinic is not rushed, and that the treatment offered to them can actually enhance their overall health.”
Along with the name change comes a new website, www.laserdentistrymn.com, where prospective patients can learn more about the laser technology as well as Dr. Contardo’s care team. Laser Dentistry is accepting new patients of all ages, and can be reached at 320-363-4468. The clinic is located at 26 NW 2nd Avenue in St. Joseph.
