Soft Tissue Laser Therapy
Our Concord dentist and team use the BIOLase Epic X soft tissue laser. We’re able to perform a wide range of procedures using this system, but unlike traditional soft tissue treatments, there is little to no bleeding or discomfort and no need for sutures. In fact, using a soft tissue laser, the treatment site is cauterized during the procedures, which promotes healing and reduces risk for infection. Some of the services available using the BIOLase Epic X system include:
- Deep cleanings
- Gum tissue recontouring
- Crown lengthening
- Periodontal therapies like scaling and root planning
- Treatment for lip and tongue-tie
Benefits of Laser Dentistry Treatments
Our team makes the decision to invest in advanced dental technologies based on whether or not the innovative tool will improve patient care. It’s clear to our team that dental lasers meet that qualification, but some of the benefits of laser dentistry experienced by patients include:
- Less discomfort during and after treatment. With only local anesthesia, patients experience little to no pain, and following treatment, patients are typically fully healed within two days of their procedure.
- Reduced risk for sensitivity during and following treatments. Drills, scalpels, and other metal tools used to remove excess soft tissue caused trauma during treatment. When teeth undergo traumatic impact, they can remain sensitive for days, weeks, or months.
- Precision results and the best possible accuracy means patients receive the necessary dental care without the loss of healthy tooth structure or soft tissue.
- Shorter treatment times because there is little to no bleeding during treatment and no need for sutures following procedures, making procedures easier to complete.
