Achieve Reduced Discomfort and Faster Recovery with Laser Dentistry

What is a Soft Tissue Diode Laser?

Our soft tissue diode laser can incise oral tissues with great accuracy and precision. Procedures that were previously performed using a scalpel can now be completed with no incisions or sutures

Our diode laser can target compromised areas, eliminating necrotic (dead) tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact.

A laser is a device that produces and amplifies light. We can adjust the wavelengths emitted during treatment to ensure the best results for each individual case. Our diode laser can target compromised areas, eliminating necrotic (dead) tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact.

Types of Laser Treatment

We can use laser therapy for a wide array of procedures, including:

• Cosmetic Gum Treatments: Patients who have a “gummy smile” because of excess gum tissue can benefit from cosmetic crown lengthening. By reshaping the gum line, laser treatment can accentuate your smile for a balanced look.
• Frenectomies: A frenum is a muscular attachment located either underneath your tongue or between your upper lip and gums. If the frenum is too tight or attached too high, it can result in speech issues or cause aesthetic concerns. A laser can effectively release the frenum in a matter of minutes.
• Periodontal Therapy: We can address mild to moderate periodontal disease with laser therapy. The diode laser aids in reducing periodontal pocket depths and sterilizes the tissue to promote healing.

After evaluating your dental needs, Dr. Valenzuela can recommend the best form of treatment and design a customized plan.

The Benefits of Dental Lasers

Laser therapy has changed the dental industry and boasts numerous advantages over more traditional forms of treatment. Dental lasers provide:

• Minimally-invasive treatment: Traditional gum surgery requires multiple incisions and stitches. Alternatively, laser treatment can help to reduce the symptoms of gum disease without a scalpel.
• Less discomfort: As compared to traditional invasive surgery, patients can experience significantly less discomfort with laser treatment.
• Precision: Because they can target specific types of tissue, dental lasers provide unparalleled accuracy.
• Reduced chance of infection: Laser therapy eliminates oral bacteria in targeted areas, promoting a healthy environment for successful healing.
• More comfortable treatment: Dental lasers are much quieter than traditional instruments, eliminating loud, unsettling noises during your procedure.
• Cauterization: Our diode laser effectively seals the soft tissues, protecting the gums from bacteria. Because laser treatment cauterizes the tissue, there is minimal post-operative bleeding.  

We are proud to deliver the highest standard of service to our patients, and are happy to address any questions or concern you may have about laser dentistry.
