At All Brite Dental, we use lasers extensively for cleanings, fillings, and gum disease treatment.
They allow for faster healing times and more predictable results with very little to no discomfort. Some dental procedures can even be done without an anesthetic! They truly are wonderful machines.
Both our Dearborn Dentists, and Brownstown Dental Office offer laser dentistry. We use two different lasers, one is the Epic laser (by Biolase ) primarily used by our hygienists who have been certified and trained to use these machines for gum detoxification and gum disease treatment.
The other is the Waterlase MD (by Biolase) which is used by the doctor to perform many types of fillings, gum sculpting, and other surgeries without shots!
Compared to the methods of traditional dentistry, this type of cleaning has many added benefits.
If you have ever been given a prescription for an antibiotic before a dental cleaning, then you know that sometimes bacteria can enter your bloodstream during cleaning and causes infections. Hard Smart Cleaning helps destroy bacteria before cleaning.
This is the first step in the deep cleaning process. The laser painlessly disinfects 99% of the bacteria under the gums before we start your second step…the scaling.
During scaling most people’s gums bleed which is due to little tears in the blood vessels that are inside your gum pocket. This tearing can allow the bacteria from your mouth to get into your blood stream! Our methods of cleaning make for a more “heart smart” cleaning by eliminating the bacteria beforehand!
When the Epic laser is used for Periodontal treatments, also known as “deep cleaning” or “gum disease treatment” the end results are reached with much less pain and quicker, as long as the patient is doing their part at home with proper hygiene.
Following scaling/root planing the epic laser is used to remove a thin layer of diseased tissue to allow for faster healing and for the gums to “tighten up.” In addition, the tool is bio stimulating to increase blood flow to the area for faster healing …..wow! This does cost extra because of the extra time spent in using the machine.
But with less bleeding, pain, and faster healing it is worth every penny!
The Waterlase allows for many small to medium size cavities to be removed without shots. It also decreases the chances of nerve death which is possible with any dental procedure. No extra charge!
All teeth are bio stimulated with the laser, before the filling, which allows not only for faster healing and less sensitivity but also a laser bonded filling which increases the strength of the filling by 50%! No extra charge!
If your teeth look short due to overgrown gums this laser can remove the excess gum tissue with little to no bleeding and in most cases without Shots and no pain after!!!
If you notice the edges of your front teeth looking jagged and rough and do not know how it happened…….WE DO! This usually requires expensive veneers that can cost thousands of dollars. In many cases, the laser allows restoring the original shape of the tooth at a fraction of the price and without shots!
I appreciate always getting called back at my actual appointment times. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Laura ChampagneWonderful & Friendly staff.
Paris FieldsExcellent care there. I have been going there probably 15 years and won't go anywhere else
Dana BarlageI have been going to All Brite Dental for several years now. I have never had a bad experience with the staff or the Doctor. I enjoy sitting down in "the" chair and chatting with the technicians. The doctor is very pleasant and gets right to the root of the problem. No pun intended. She takes the time to get down to earth with her patients. I guess having a staff of females is just more neutering and makes me feel more comfortable there.
Thomas N SprakerVery friendly and professional staff!
Jason BarrAwesome place for dental services!!
everett sollarsI've been going to the All Brite Dental office on Allen Road in Woodhaven for around 4 months. In that time I had an exam, full mouth xrays, filling repairs, cleaning and teeth whitening. I'll have another cleaning in a couple weeks. Everyone there has been professional, friendly, caring, and easy to communicate with. They send email reminders for appts. and call if able to fit me in earlier than my scheduled appt. All of the procedures were pain free. Dr Rafiq is very caring and respectful of her patients. She knew about a condition I have, and why I need medication when having dental procedures. No one at the office give me flack, tried to talk me out of using antibiotics or made negative comments about people using the internet to self-diagnose (which was why I left the last dental practice I was going to). I appreciate all of the support and decency they have showed me.
jewelsotAlways enjoy going to All Brite Dental. Katherine always make you feel welcome and special and Shannon is the best hygenist. She is caring, understanding and concerned about her patients. Dr. Rafiq is so kind and always make you feel like you are in good hands. Wonderful experience every time!
Debbi MarxMy daughter and I had an amazing experience! The staff there is excellent! Dr. Rafiq, Chelsea, Sarah, Katherine and Kendall were so helpful! Definitely there to stay!!
alicia scheerhornMy husband and I have been going here for a while now. It has been nothing but pleasant experiences in this office. All the staff are very welcoming and take time to have genuine conversations with you. I always feel relaxed and the doctor's work is top notch. I have no complaints at all????
Samantha AlexanderHad a very good experience here. First had a cleaning that was on time (no extra wait time). The cleaning went well and they found some cavities (not good for me but no impact on the dentist office :)). Then after the cleaning the dentist came in to review the cleaners findings for the cavities and found an additional one. Then I set up an appointment for about a week later to get all the cavities taken care of. On the day of the appointment they called me and said they were running ahead of schedule and let me come in earlier. So not only no wait, I got in earlier and out earlier. During the filling of my cavities I had novocaine but it seemed like a nerve was still hit (could/probably was just me being nervous) but even so they still gave me some extra novocaine just in case. Overall the filling of 5 cavities was painless and they made sure my bite was not effected by the cavity fillings (for the larger one). I would definitely recommend them. My kids go there as well and they are very kid friendly. My son was on the no cavity list and he was put into a drawing and won a $50 gift card to Toys R Us.
Brad HooperPrompt, professional, kind employees. Good dentist for the entire family. Dr Rafiq might be little in stature but she's a caring attentive dentist.
Steve MakowskiSo far, each time I've visited, and only being a member for a little over a year, I can say that my visits have been nothing less than astonishing and wonderful. From the warm and welcoming staff to Dr. Rafiq herself. I would recommend All Brite to anyone who needs to visit a dentist.
