Laser Therapy

Soft tissue laser therapy is employed to treat and manage a range of dental conditions affecting the gums and soft tissues. Pain and extended recovery times are common with most dental procedures. Dental lasers help reduce bleeding, tooth loss, tissue damage, and receding gums. The Picasso+ Diode Laser that we use in our practice offers a preventative solution to these problems by eliminating harmful bacteria and periodontal disease, reducing the need for stitches, local anesthetic, and periodontal packs.

Common Applications of the Diode Laser

  • Gingivectomy/Gingivoplasty: Soft tissue lasers can reshape and contour the gums for cosmetic or functional reasons, such as improving the appearance of a gummy smile or addressing periodontal issues.
  • Frenectomy: Laser therapy is used to release tight bands of tissue (frenula) that may cause issues with speech, tooth eruption, or gum recession.
  • Treatment of Gum Disease: Soft tissue lasers can be used for periodontal treatments, such as pocket reduction and bacterial decontamination, aiding in the management of gum disease.
  • Cold Sore or Canker Sore Treatment: Laser therapy can be used to reduce pain and expedite the healing process of cold sores or canker sores.
  • Biopsy: Soft tissue lasers are used to remove a small piece of tissue for examination, aiding in the diagnosis of oral lesions.
