Laser Dentistry

At Everlasting Dentistry, we use our soft tissue laser to enhance the outcomes of various procedures, including the following:

Periodontal Therapy: Dental lasers use powerful, focused light to destroy harmful oral bacteria, decontaminating the deep gingival pockets. This helps promote gum tissue healing, offering an invaluable tool in the fight against periodontal disease.

Gingivectomy: This minimally invasive procedure involves the reshaping of gum tissues or removing excess tissues, delivering a more symmetrical smile. It can be used to improve the appearance of a “gummy smile,” treat periodontal disease, and prepare teeth for restorations.

Frenectomy: A laser frenectomy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to release lip or tongue ties in a matter of minutes with no numbing or stitches and virtually no discomfort or bleeding. This quick and gentle procedure has a lower risk of infection than surgical frenectomies. Laser frenectomies can help reduce feeding problems in young children and reduce the risk of speech delays, gaps between the front teeth, gum recession, and more.

Operculectomy: A laser operculectomy involves removing the flap of gum tissue called the operculum that partly covers a tooth, most commonly a lower molar. This flap can trap food and bacteria, leading to infection, pain, and tooth decay. This minimally invasive procedure comes with less bleeding and discomfort, faster healing, and a smoother recovery than a traditional surgical operculectomy.

Biopsies: A laser biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses focused laser energy to remove small tissue samples to evaluate suspicious growths. Laser biopsies minimize bleeding and discomfort and allow for a more precise cut, ensuring a much easier and smoother recovery than using a traditional scalpel.

Apthous Ulcer Treatment: Aphthous ulcers, also known as cankers sores, can cause pain and discomfort. Our soft tissue laser can heal recurrent aphthous ulcers in as little as one treatment. Laser therapy can even help prevent future canker sores, providing long-term relief.
