Diode Laser
Lasers are currently used for recontouring or reshaping gums, removing extra or diseased gum tissue associated with the use of certain medications or periodontal disease, and removing the bacteria in periodontal pockets to promote healing. Healing time and post operative discomfort can be significantly reduced over the traditional surgical methods. The dental laser allows for expanded services including:

• Periodontal therapy (gum disease)
• Excision of minor growths
• Crown lengthening (removing gum and bone to expose more tooth)
• Apthous ulcer treatment. (The laser takes away the discomfort of the ulcer)
• Frenectomies (frenum is a small muscle attachment under the lips)
• Cosmetic contouring of the gum tissue (gum lift, reshaping)
