Question

what adverse effect can refractionl co2 laser on face can have on dental implants and fixed porceline crowns

Brian Dorfman, MD, DMD · Answer

There are no contraindications to laser skin resurfacing after a dental implant. This goes for regular CO2 laser and chemical peels as well. As a matter of fact there are almost no containdications for facial cosmetic procedures after a dental implant. Aas a board certified dual degree oral & maxillofacial surgeon I often combine the dental implant procedures along with facial cosmetic procedures for a true facial and smile rejuvenation

Bernard Ian Krupp, DDS · Answer

Laser Resurfacing is my gold standard to remove wrinkles and it works! Fractional CO2 is a step down and gives variable results depending on the manufacturer, energy level and skill of the surgeon. I have many patients who crossover from the dental side of my practice to the facial cosmetic side and so have a lot of experience in this area.

	There are NO side effects to have a skin procedure on your dental implants or dental work. I even use my laser to contour the oral soft tissue when needed and this also has no ill effects.

Hema Patel, DDS · Answer

Agree, I am not aware of any side effects of Co2 laser to the teeth, implants or any other dental restorations such as crowns and fillings.

Dan Hagi, DDS · Answer

There is no documented interaction between facial laser treatments like Fraxel and dental restorations and dental implants.   Hope this helps.

Olga Kharevich, DMD, PhD (in memoriam) · Answer

Fractional CO2 laser applied to the skin of the face has no effect on the intra-oral tissue, gum, teeth, dental implants or crowns. There is no research that shows any possible side effects on intra-oral implants or crowns.

No documented contra- indication up to now has been observed.  .Implants are titanium posts embedded in the bone. It is as if you had metal crowns, metal fillings.
