Laser Therapy Q & A

What is laser therapy?

Lasers are energy-based devices that can cut through hard and soft tissues. Their extreme precision makes lasers more effective than traditional scalpels when performing various dental treatments. 

 

At Bright and Shine Dental, Dr. Kesman offers laser therapy to perform many different procedures without the pain, risk of infection, and downtime that accompanies traditional treatments.

What can laser therapy treat?

 

Dr. Kesman uses laser therapy to treat many different dental treatments, including:

Dental implant placement

 

Dr. Kesman uses laser dentistry to cut through your gum tissue when placing dental implants. This scalpel alternative allows her to expertly place the implant with a lower risk of infection and less bleeding.

Tooth extractions

 

If you need a surgical tooth extraction, a soft tissue laser creates an incision in the gums that allows Dr. Kesman to access the damaged tooth.

Frenectomies

 

A frenectomy is a procedure to remove the frenum. You have a frenum at the top of your mouth, which connects the upper lips to the gums. The lower frenum connects your tongue to the roof of your mouth. An overly tight or short frenum may require removal. Laser removal allows Dr. Kesman to perform a frenectomy quickly, without damaging your healthy tissue.

Periodontal disease treatment

 

Lasers allow Dr. Kesman to carefully lift your gum tissue to clean and disinfect pockets of plaque without the damage that may accompany traditional periodontal procedures.

Biopsies

 

Laser treatment simplifies biopsies and lesion removal procedures. Dr. Kesman can cut through the tissue to precisely remove the growth for testing.

Gum reshaping

 

Gum reshaping is a cosmetic procedure that can treat a “gummy smile.” Soft tissue lasers are faster and more precise than traditional surgery at removing excess gum tissue.

What are the benefits of laser therapy?

 

Laser dentistry is more precise than traditional methods that involve cutting into tissue with scalpels. As a result, they tend to cause less damage. Popular benefits of laser therapy include:

 

  • Minimally invasive
  • Lower risk of infection
  • Less pain
  • Minimal swelling
  • Shorter recovery
  • No anesthesia
  • Less need for stitches
