Our Select Laser Dentistry Treatments

Frenectomy

For both infants and adults, laser frenectomy is a seconds-long procedure resulting in long-lasting functional improvements. For infants, this includes the ability to latch and nurse. For adults, this procedure is generally part of a comprehensive treatment process also involving myofunctional therapy to improve speech, breathing, eating, and swallowing. Treatment can also improve symptoms associated with sleep apnea, mouth breathing, snoring, and problems like neck pain and TMJ disorder.

Gingivectomy

A laser gingivectomy uses the power of the dental laser to vaporize tissue that has become infected by bacterial plaque and pulled away from the teeth. This procedure is completed when gum disease has progressed enough to cause deep pockets between the gums and teeth to form but hasn’t yet harmed the bone. The dental laser cauterizes the treatment areas, helping to accelerate soft tissue healing and reattachment around the bone and teeth.

Gum Disease Therapy

For more advanced cases of periodontal disease, the powerful laser light of the dental laser is used to eradicate the infected tissue and bacteria from the deep pockets between the teeth. After the surfaces of the teeth are cleared of calculus buildup, the pockets are cauterized to aid in rapid healing and reattachment of the gum tissue to the bone and teeth. Unlike traditional osseous surgery, laser gum disease therapy minimizes bleeding, swelling, and the risk of infection after treatment.
