Laser Dentistry – Bowie, MD

What is a Soft Tissue Dental Laser?

As its name implies, a soft tissue laser works on the soft tissues in the mouth. A dentist might use it to:

• Remove diseased gum tissue or reshape the gumline for aesthetic purposes
• Kill bacteria inside gum pockets
• Activate bleaching agents during a professional teeth whitening treatment
• Treat ulcers
• Perform frenectomies

Because of its varied uses, our soft tissue laser can often help patients have an even more enjoyable, stress-free experience here at Ambiance Dental Spa!

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Some of the top benefits of laser dentistry include:

• Outstanding precision. Lasers offer a high level of control that preserves as much of your healthy oral tissue as possible.
• Bacteria-killing. Lasers naturally kill harmful bacteria, which lowers your risk of infection.
• Quicker healing time. The minimally invasive nature of lasers results in less downtime after procedures.
• Less bleeding. Because a soft tissue laser cauterizes as it moves, it often eliminates the need for sutures.
• Outstanding relaxation. Lasers feel so comfortable in the mouth that in many cases, they reduce or even eliminate the need for local anesthesia.
• Low risk. The chances of a complication arising as a result of a laser procedure are next to nothing.
