Diode Soft Tissue Laser
Lasers are really at the leading edge of modern dentistry and can be used in a variety of treatments.
They can be used for the sterilization of root canals and periodontal pockets, to heal ulcers, perform gingivectomys, frenectomies and crown lengthening without bone removal as well as gum reconstruction.
Procedures that we perform with the diode laser include:
- Gingivectomy, Gingivoplasty and Operculectomy - Are basically the removal of excess or malpositioned gum tissue.
- Bacterial Decontamination and Debridement of Diseased Epithelial Lining - The removal of scar tissue in periodontal pockets.
- Excision and Biopsy - Removal of growths and tumors.
- Implant Recovery - Exposure of the tops of implants after the healing period and prior to their use for restorative services.
- Incision and Draining of Abscesses - Offers the advantage of also decontaminating the area.
- Treatment of Apthous Ulcers and Herpes Simplex - Non-invasive means of killing bacterial and viral colonies which will reduce the pain, promote healing and lessen duration.
- Crown Lengthening - The removal of gum tissue to allow access for the precise placement of crowns and fixed bridgework.
