Laser Dentistry
​
The application of lasers in dentistry opens the door to perform a wide variety of dental procedures that were once very complex or just not possible.
​
Lasers provide many benefits including:
​
-
Procedures performed on soft tissue may not require sutures (stitches) reducing the healing time of cold sores allowing wounds to heal faster by reducing the damage to surrounding tissue
-
Gingival recontouring
-
Gingivoplasty
​
Common Procedure the Laser can Help You!
​
Cold Sores: Low intensity dental lasers reduce healing time and pain associated with cold sores.
​
Crown Lengthening: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue (soft tissue laser). Referred to as crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations.
​
Benign Tumours: Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of benign tumours situated on the gums, palate, sides of cheeks and lips.
​
Gummy Smile: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy tooth structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile.
​
Soft Tissue Folds (Epulis): Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures.
​
Muscle Attachment (Frenum): A laser frenectomy is an ideal treatment option for children who are tongue tied and babies who are unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement.
A laser frenectomy may also help to eliminate speech impediments caused by limited tongue movements .
