What Are Dental Lasers?
A laser is a highly concentrated beam of light. It works by converting electrical energy into laser light. While lasers can be used for a wide range of purposes across numerous fields in dentistry, we use lasers to remove diseased tissue while maintaining healthy structure and reducing healing time.
Types of Laser Dental Treatments
Dental lasers can be used for various reasons in dentistry. Here are some of the services that we use our dental laser for.
Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment
Lip and tongue ties can significantly impact the development of infants. They may have difficulty breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, gaining weight, breathing, or even speaking as they get older. We use our dental laser to release lip and tongue ties quickly and effectively. This way, your child can gain complete mobility of their oral structures!
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is an infection of the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth. It can be devastating for your oral structures and even result in tooth loss. To help our patients defeat gum disease, we might use our dental laser to remove infected tissue. It also helps to kill harmful bacteria in the mouth, making it easier for patients to recover.
Gum Recontouring
If you have an excess of gum tissue or an uneven gumline, our dental laser can help you achieve a more proportionate smile. It can gently trim away specific areas of tissue form the gumline, creating a healthy, beautiful frame for your smile.
