GUM TREATMENT
Laser Gum Treatment
at The Smiles Dr involves using the state-of-the-art OPUS
5 Diode Laser which often allows gentle gum procedures to
be completed without open periodontal surgery. Conservative
laser procedures are fast, easy and virtually painless.
Our dental laser
can be used for many soft tissue procedures in place of
a scalpel. The dental laser has many advantages over scalpel
use. The dental laser uses an invisible energy beam to perform
soft tissue procedures more efficiently and comfortably
for our patients.
The dental laser
offers little to no bleeding, swelling, infection or post-operative
discomfort and also eliminates the need for most sutures
(stitches). We find the dental laser to be very effective
in increasing the quality of our dental care.
