Laser-assisted Dental Surgery
Precise light energy for gum and soft-tissue procedures — typically with less bleeding and quicker healing.
What it is
A soft-tissue dental laser uses focused light to cut and seal gum tissue at the same time. It is used for procedures such as reshaping an uneven gum line, removing small growths, uncovering teeth and treating some gum conditions. Because it seals as it works, there is typically less bleeding and often no need for stitches.
