Modern dental care meets high-tech precision with laser dentistry. We utilize two advanced laser systems - Millennium PerioLase MVP-7, a specialized Nd:YAG laser used for minimally invasive gum treatments like LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), and the Fotona LightWalker ATS, a versatile laser ideal for cavity removal, soft tissue procedures, and cosmetic treatments. These lasers allow for faster healing, reduced discomfort, and more accurate results—helping us provide gentler, more effective care every day.
Soft tissue lasers are used in a variety of dental treatments involving the gums and soft tissues of the mouth. The laser delivers concentrated light energy to target specific areas, allowing for precise, minimally invasive procedures that promote faster healing and better results. Unlike traditional methods that often require scalpels or sutures, soft tissue lasers provide a gentle approach that reduces the need for cutting and stitching, enhancing both patient comfort and recovery time. Benefits of Soft Tissue Laser Technology: • Precision and Accuracy: The laser targets only the specific tissue being treated, leaving surrounding areas untouched and unaffected. This minimizes discomfort and reduces the risk of complications. • Minimized Bleeding and Swelling: The laser cauterizes the tissue as it works, which significantly reduces bleeding during procedures. Additionally, it helps minimize swelling and discomfort post-treatment. • Faster Healing: Because the laser promotes coagulation and tissue regeneration, patients often experience faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. • Reduced Need for Anesthesia: Many procedures performed with soft tissue lasers require little or no anesthesia, making treatments quicker and more comfortable for patients. • Minimized Risk of Infection: The laser sterilizes the treated area as it works, reducing the risk of infection and promoting a healthier healing process.
• Gum Contouring and Shaping: Soft tissue lasers can be used to reshape the gums for aesthetic purposes, giving patients a more even and symmetrical gum line. • Gum Disease Treatment: Lasers are effective in removing infected tissue from periodontal pockets, helping treat gum disease more efficiently with less discomfort. • Frenectomy: The laser can be used to treat tight or restrictive frenulum (the tissue that connects the upper lip to the gums), improving speech or ease of movement for the lip. • Biopsy: In some cases, lasers are used to remove small areas of tissue for biopsy with greater precision and minimal discomfort.
