CO₂ laser technology is among the most powerful tools in modern aesthetics — and in untrained hands, among the most consequential. At Relax and Smile, every laser treatment is performed by Dr. Roman, a dental-medical professional with formal training in laser therapy.
From targeted under-eye tightening to full-face resurfacing, these treatments work by triggering your skin’s own regenerative response — stimulating collagen, tightening tissue, and restoring a smoother, more youthful surface.
Precision is everything. And here, it’s guaranteed.
Cancer and chemotherapy medications can affect the teeth, gums, and jawbone. The American Dental Association (ADA) found that chemotherapy medications cause soft tissue reactions such as the development of oral sores, inflammation, and discoloration of soft tissues in the mouth. These reactions can lead to dry mouth syndrome, a condition that reduces the amount of saliva the mouth produces and can result in tissues becoming irritated and inflamed.
Dry mouth irritation can eventually lead to tooth decay, tooth loss, and gum disease as there is not enough remaining tissue in the gums. Drinking plenty of water and chewing sugarless gum can enhance saliva production and relieve some of the symptoms associated with dry mouth. Saliva substitutes are also effective in combating dry mouth.

Psychoactive medications refer to drugs that change the brain's function and alters a person's perception, mood, cognition, consciousness, or behavior. These medications include, but are not limited to, antidepressants, anti-anxiety, stimulants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers. Behavior and mood-altering drugs can cause dry mouth syndrome and increase the risk of tooth deterioration.
Dry mouth syndrome leads to tooth decay, tooth loss, and gum disease because of reduced saliva production. According to Better Health, lack of sufficient saliva production inhibits saliva from:

Diabetes medications can alter a patient's sense of taste, known as dysgeusia. According to WebMD, dysgeusia can make food taste different or cause a metallic, salty, or bitter taste in your mouth. Taste changes can lead to insufficient nutrition due to a lack of taste and appetite, which may increase oral conditions.
Periodontal disease is the most common dental disease affecting those living with diabetes, affecting nearly 22% of those diagnosed. With age, diabetic patients experience poor blood sugar control, increasing their risk of gum disease that can also affect their ability to control blood sugar levels. Gum problems make diabetes harder to control because the patient is more susceptible to infection but less able to fight it. Treating the gums, applying a meticulous oral regimen, and having regular professional deep-cleanings can help curb and even prevent oral conditions and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Certain regulatory medicines, including cardiovascular medications, cause gum enlargement, also known as gingival overgrowth. The enlargement is caused by inflammation of the gums from plaque build-up. According to Pharmacy Times, about a million North Americans are affected by drug-induced gingival overgrowth. Complete health dentists can help cardiovascular patients regulate their medications while also limiting their gum overgrowth to prevent further oral complications.

Patients with a thyroid imbalance often experience dry mouth syndrome, burning mouth syndrome, increased cavity development, enlarged tongue and gums, slow-healing mouth sores, delayed or rapid tooth growth, and osteoporosis. Thyroid medications alter the taste senses as well, which could limit a patient's nutritional intake. Drugs that balance hormone levels may increase incidences of mouth sores, tooth decay, and difficulty swallowing.

It is important to know and understand the side effects resulting from a particular medication and how to reduce or eliminate them in an effort to maintain good oral health. Taking appropriate hygienic measures also decreases many general health symptoms as much of the bacteria in the mouth is cleared before entering the body.
Depending on the health condition, complete health dentists can offer insights on how to relieve dry mouth, enlarged gums, abnormal bleeding, taste changes, tissue reactions, bone loss, discoloration, and thrush infection. In most cases, patients cannot decide against taking medications, but dentists may lower their dosage or alter the medication to suit their oral needs. Patients should seek medical and dental advice regarding medications while also maintaining a proper oral hygiene regimen.

No. Quiet Nite is a non-invasive laser comfort treatment designed to help tone and tighten soft tissues that may contribute to snoring — it is not a treatment for sleep apnea or any diagnosed sleep disorder. Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that requires diagnosis and treatment by a qualified sleep medicine physician. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, please consult a medical specialist. Quiet Nite is an aesthetic tissue-tightening procedure for comfort purposes only. Results may vary.
Traditional dermal fillers use synthetic hyaluronic acid or other materials to add volume beneath the skin. PRF Bio-Filler uses a concentrated preparation of Platelet-Rich Fibrin derived from your own blood — making it a biologically-derived approach to volume restoration. Because it uses your own growth factors, it may offer a more natural-looking result with a lower risk of adverse reactions. PRF Bio-Filler is designed for patients who prefer a natural approach using their own biology. Results may vary and individual outcomes differ.
SmoothLase® is a non-surgical laser treatment performed inside the mouth that stimulates collagen production and tightens facial tissues from within — improving skin firmness and softening wrinkles without any external incisions or downtime. Because the treatment is administered intraorally (inside the mouth), it requires the expertise of a licensed dental-medical professional who has the training, equipment, and clinical access to perform it safely. This is a treatment that most aesthetic clinics simply cannot offer. Results may vary.
Yes — many of our treatments are designed to complement each other and can be strategically combined for enhanced results. For example, Targeted PRF Bio-Renewal is frequently added on to a PRF Microneedling Facial, and HairSOME™ is designed as an enhancement to PRF Hair Rejuvenation. Your provider will review your goals during the consultation and recommend a combination approach if it's appropriate for your skin type, health history, and desired outcomes. Results may vary.
The number of sessions needed depends on the treatment and your individual goals. Some patients notice improvement after a single session, while others achieve optimal results through a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. For example, PRF microneedling is often recommended as a series of 3 sessions, while CO₂ resurfacing may deliver significant results in one session. PRF hair rejuvenation typically requires multiple sessions over several months. We'll build a personalized treatment plan during your consultation. Results may vary.
Yes — in fact, having a medically trained dental provider perform aesthetic treatments offers significant safety advantages. Dentists have advanced clinical knowledge of facial anatomy, including the precise location of nerves, blood vessels, and tissue structures. This expertise directly translates to safer, more precise aesthetic treatment outcomes. At Relax & Smile Dental Care, all treatments are administered by a licensed medical professional using medical-grade equipment and sterile clinical protocols.
Downtime varies by treatment. PRF microneedling typically involves mild redness and sensitivity for 24–72 hours, similar to a light sunburn. CO₂ laser resurfacing may require a longer recovery period depending on the depth of treatment. Non-ablative laser treatments like SmoothLase® and LipLase® generally involve little to no visible downtime. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect at your consultation based on your specific treatment plan. Results and recovery may vary by individual.
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin — a concentration of growth factors and healing proteins derived from a small sample of your own blood. During treatment, blood is drawn in-office, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, and then applied topically or injected into the treatment area. PRF works by stimulating your body's own regenerative processes — encouraging collagen production, cellular renewal, and tissue healing naturally. Because it uses your own biology, there are no synthetic additives or foreign substances involved. Results may vary by individual.
