Laser Dentistry
Gentler treatment, faster healing. Dental lasers let us perform many gum and soft-tissue procedures with less discomfort and minimal bleeding.
Overview
About Laser Dentistry
Dental lasers use focused light energy to treat gum and soft-tissue conditions precisely and gently. Because they're so accurate, lasers often mean less need for the drill or scalpel, reduced bleeding and swelling, lower risk of infection, and faster healing — frequently with little or no anaesthetic.
We use laser dentistry for procedures such as reshaping uneven gums, treating gum disease, removing small soft-tissue lesions and releasing tongue or lip ties. It's a comfortable, minimally invasive option that many patients find far less daunting than traditional techniques.
