We use soft tissue lasers to treat gum disease, reshape gum tissue, and manage other periodontal concerns with precision and minimal invasiveness. The laser uses focused light energy to target diseased or excess tissue without affecting healthy areas around it.
Compared to traditional gum surgery with a scalpel, laser treatment offers several advantages for your comfort and recovery. There is typically less bleeding during the procedure, reduced post-operative discomfort, and faster healing times. The laser also seals small blood vessels and nerve endings as it works, which can mean less swelling and pain after treatment. Because we're able to be so precise, we preserve as much healthy tissue as possible, which is especially important for long-term gum health and implant success.
