Utilizing laser technology in dentistry makes many treatments and services more comfortable for our patients – even capable of boosting recovery times!
Using a soft tissue laser in our office, we are able to treat gum disease by removing infected tissue and eliminating disease-causing bacteria. The laser can also be employed to contour the gum tissue, collect a tissue sample, and even treat blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Rather than using other methods that involve scalpels and sutures, lasers promote faster healing, cause less discomfort and swelling, and reduce trauma to surrounding tissues.
