What Are the Uses of Lasers in Dentistry?
Addressing Puffy Gums
Our soft tissue laser offers an excellent solution for managing puffy gums (gingival hyperplasia), both before and during orthodontic treatment. It reduces excess gum tissue, eliminates bacteria, and promotes faster healing, improving oral health and enhancing the orthodontic experience.
Gingivectomy
Our soft tissue laser helps reshape or remove excess gum tissues, creating a more symmetrical smile. The minimally invasive procedure is often used to treat periodontal disease, improve the appearance of a 'gummy smile,' or prepare teeth for dental restorations.
Frenectomy
A laser frenectomy offers a quick and comfortable solution to release lip or tongue ties, restoring normal range of motion and improving feeding, speech, and oral development. Much more comfortable than traditional surgical frenectomies, with less bleeding, quicker recovery, and better outcomes.
Aphthous Ulcer Treatment (Canker Sores)
Our soft tissue laser can heal recurrent canker sores in as little as one treatment, providing prompt and lasting relief from the pain and discomfort of aphthous ulcers.
Aesthetic Teeth Contouring
Also known as enameloplasty, aesthetic teeth contouring involves removing small amounts of tooth enamel to alter the shape, length, or surface of a tooth. Ideal for addressing minor imperfections such as chips, uneven edges, or misalignment.
Dental Cleanings Enhancement
Our soft tissue laser eliminates harmful bacteria during your dental cleanings, enhancing their effectiveness and reducing the risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral infections.
Periodontal Care
Our soft tissue laser targets and eliminates bacteria deep within gum pockets, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term gum health. Laser treatment helps prevent gum disease from progressing.
Gum Bleaching
Our soft tissue laser offers an excellent solution for improving the appearance of darkened gums. Patients typically report a noticeable change in gum color within two weeks, with permanent, beautifully natural results.
