Laser dentistry represents one of the most significant advances in modern dental care. At Lucas Elite Dental Studio, our soft tissue dental laser allows us to perform a range of procedures with greater precision, less discomfort, and faster recovery times than traditional methods.
What Can Dental Lasers Treat?
Our soft tissue laser is used for a variety of procedures, including gum disease treatment, gum reshaping (gingivectomy), frenectomy (releasing tongue and lip ties), canker sore treatment, aesthetic teeth contouring, and gum bleaching.
The Benefits of Laser Treatment
The advantages of laser dentistry are numerous. Lasers are significantly less invasive than traditional surgical techniques, which translates to less pain, less bleeding, and a faster recovery. The precision of a laser means that surrounding healthy tissue is largely undisturbed.
Many laser procedures can be performed with little to no local anesthesia. For patients who experience dental anxiety, the elimination of needles and drills can make a tremendous difference in their overall comfort and willingness to seek care.
Lasers also have natural antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of infection at the treatment site. This contributes to better healing outcomes.
Laser Frenectomy for Tongue and Lip Ties
One of the most impactful applications of our laser is the treatment of tongue and lip ties. A laser frenectomy is a quick, comfortable procedure that can dramatically improve feeding, speech, and oral development in infants and children — and even adults.
