Dental lasers use focused light energy to treat tissue with a high degree of precision. For the right procedures, that can mean less bleeding, less discomfort, and quicker healing.
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.

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.
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.
