How dental lasers work

A dental laser delivers a concentrated beam of light that can gently remove or reshape tissue. At the same time, it seals small blood vessels and helps reduce bacteria in the treated area. Because the beam is so precise, healthy tissue around the treatment site is better preserved. Lasers can often replace the scalpel for many soft-tissue procedures, and some patients find them less intimidating than traditional instruments, with no vibration and less noise.

Common laser treatments

Lasers can help with many treatments, including gum disease therapy to reduce bacteria in infected pockets and reshaping or contouring the gums for a more even smile. They can also uncover teeth or implants, release a tight lip or tongue tie with a frenectomy, and treat canker sores. Some biopsies are done with a laser too. Not every procedure is right for a laser, so we'll explain when it's the best tool and when another method will give you a better result.

Benefits for patients

For soft-tissue procedures, lasers typically cause less bleeding and swelling than traditional methods. Many patients need less anesthetic, and some minor procedures can be done with only a numbing gel. Because the laser helps seal the tissue, there are often fewer or no stitches, and healing tends to be faster. That can be especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety or sensitive gums who want a gentler experience.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, when performed by a trained dentist. You and our team wear protective eyewear during treatment, and the laser settings are matched to the tissue being treated. Dental lasers are used widely for soft-tissue procedures and have a long track record. We'll answer any questions before we begin.
Many patients feel less discomfort with laser treatment than with traditional methods. Depending on the procedure, we may still use a local anesthetic or numbing gel. Afterward, soreness and swelling are usually mild and short-lived. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
For some uses, yes, but not all. Lasers are especially useful for soft-tissue procedures, and some types can treat small areas of decay. Traditional instruments are still the right choice for many fillings and crowns. We'll use the technique that gives you the safest, most reliable result.
