A dental laser delivers a precise beam of light energy that can remove or reshape soft tissue, seal small blood vessels as it works, and reduce bacteria in the treated area.
What we use it for
- Gum disease, to remove infected tissue and reduce bacteria as part of Periodontal Treatment.
- Recurring mouth ulcers, to relieve pain and help them heal.
- Gum pigmentation, to lighten dark patches on the gums.
- Pericoronitis, removing the inflamed gum flap over a partly erupted tooth, often a wisdom tooth.
- Implant exposure, uncovering a healed implant before its crown is attached.
The benefits
- Less bleeding, and often no stitches.
- Less swelling and faster healing for many procedures.
- Less scarring and a better cosmetic result.
- Shorter, more comfortable procedures, which many anxious patients appreciate.
