Gum Reshaping - Laser Dentistry

Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures. It has a number of benefits when used for certain types of treatments that make it far superior.

Gentle Dental Care uses Laser Dentistry for the following treatments:

• Teeth whitening – Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers are used to speed up the bleaching process associated with teeth whitening
• Temporomandibular Joint Treatment – Dental lasers are used to quickly reduce pain and inflammation of the temporomandibular jaw joint
• Gummy smile – Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy tooth structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile

Why Laser Dentistry?

• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches)
• Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia
• Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels inhibiting blood loss
• Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the affected area
• Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized
• Wounds heal faster
