Soft Tissue Treatments Made Easy with Laser Dentistry

Precision, comfort, and speed in dental treatments

Healthier Gums and Mouth

We are excited to offer laser dentistry at Life-Centered Dentistry. It is used on the soft tissues of the mouth–gums, tongue, and lips. This approach offers several advantages over traditional methods, including reduced pain, minimized bleeding, and faster healing times.

While lasers are versatile, they are not appropriate for every type of dental treatment.

Laser Dentistry Options At Life-Centered Dentistry

Gingivectomy

Removal of some gum tissue at the base of the tooth, where the tooth meets your gums, to treat gum disease.

Frenectomy

A frenectomy removes or adjusts a frenum, the tissue connecting your gums, lips, tongue, or cheeks. If too tight, it can affect speaking, eating, or oral health. A small cut is made to improve movement.

Gum Contouring

Reshaping of the gums to enhance the appearance of the smile. Part of a smile makeover.

Lesion Removal

Removes cold sores or canker sores

Crown Lengthening

Removing gum tissue to expose more of the tooth for better esthetics.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)

Three treatments to reduce pain in the joint.

Advantages of Laser Dentistry

Minimized Bleeding

Lasers promote blood clotting, reducing bleeding during and after the procedure.

Reduced Pain

Many patients experience less pain and discomfort compared to traditional methods.

Lower Risk of Infection

The laser’s sterilizing effect reduces the risk of bacterial infections.

Faster Healing

Patients typically experience quicker recovery times.

Precision

Lasers allow for precise removal of soft tissue with minimal damage to surrounding areas.
