Dr. Sophie Nabavi uses advanced soft tissue laser technology to provide precise and effective treatment for gum disease and other periodontal concerns. Soft tissue lasers allow us to target and remove infected or damaged gum tissue with minimal discomfort and faster healing times. This tool is incredibly versatile and is used in a range of procedures, including crown lengthening, frenectomy, treating cold sores, gum recontouring and more. Soft tissue lasers are a game-changer in dentistry, enabling us to deliver enhanced results with less invasive techniques.
Soft Tissue Lasers: Comfort & Precision
One of the key benefits of soft tissue lasers for gum disease treatment is their ability to precisely target areas without affecting healthy tissue. This precision not only improves the effectiveness of the treatment but also minimizes discomfort and helps you recover more quickly. The laser energy works to sterilize the area, reducing the risk of infection, and helps seal blood vessels as it works, which results in less bleeding both during and after the procedure. This makes soft tissue laser treatment a preferred option for many patients, especially those with anxiety about traditional gum surgery.
Soft tissue lasers also bring significant advantages in patient comfort. Unlike traditional dental tools that may cause vibration or produce loud sounds, soft tissue lasers are quiet and provide a more relaxed experience. This is particularly helpful for individuals who may feel uneasy about standard dental procedures. Often, the use of a soft tissue laser reduces or even eliminates the need for anesthesia, making it a gentle choice for addressing periodontal issues while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
Beyond gum disease treatment, soft tissue lasers can be used to address a variety of oral health concerns. In cases of cold or canker sores, the laser can promote faster healing and alleviate pain. Additionally, lasers can be used for recontouring the gumline to improve your smile’s appearance or to expose an impacted tooth for better alignment during orthodontic treatment. Some lasers even support treatments for sleep apnea, as well as assist with post-implant recovery, providing added value to your overall dental care.
