The Applications of Laser Dentistry

A soft tissue laser emits a concentrated beam of light that works on the soft tissues in the mouth. We might use it to:

  • Remove diseased gum tissue
  • Reshape the gumline for aesthetic purposes
  • Kill bacteria inside gum pockets
  • Treat ulcers
  • Perform frenectomies (lip/tongue-tie treatment)

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry offers a host of benefits, such as:

  • Conservative: Lasers give us a high level of control so we can preserve as much of your healthy oral tissue as possible.
  • Bacteria-killing: Lasers naturally kill harmful bacteria, which lowers your risk of infection.
  • Quicker healing time: The minimally invasive nature of lasers results in less downtime after procedures.
  • Less bleeding: Because a soft tissue laser cauterizes as it works, it often eliminates the need for sutures.
  • Gentle: Lasers feel so comfortable in the mouth that in many cases, they reduce or even eliminate the need for local anesthesia.
  • Low risk: The chances of a complication arising as a result of a laser procedure are next to nothing.
