Soft tissue lasers are a cutting-edge technology that have revolutionized a number of dental procedures, ensuring both precision and efficiency in treatment. Our dentists can provide a broad range of treatments using soft tissue lasers, including:

  • Periodontal procedures, such as crown lengthening and gingivectomies
  • Reshaping the gum line
  • Removing damaged gum tissue
  • Frenectomies
  • Treatments for cold and canker sores
  • Sleep apnea treatments
  • Uncovering impacted teeth
  • Aiding in recovery following dental implant placement
  • Excising lesions
  • Conducting oral tissue biopsies
  • And more!

There are a multitude of advantages to using soft tissue lasers as part of your care. Their precision allows for meticulous treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Procedures tend to be less invasive, resulting in reduced discomfort, faster recovery times and a diminished need for anesthesia. Bleeding during and after procedures is also significantly minimized, lowering the risk of post-operative infections. Another notable benefit is the gentle and quiet nature of these lasers, a welcome departure from the noise generated by traditional dental tools.
