Medically reviewed by Dr. Ramin Khoshsar, DDS, DMD
Dental lasers use focused light energy to treat soft tissue with remarkable precision. For patients, that means gentler procedures and faster healing.
What lasers treat
Common uses include:
- Gum disease therapy and bacterial reduction
- Gum contouring for a gummy or uneven smile
- Tongue- and lip-tie releases
- Canker sore relief
Why patients prefer lasers
Because lasers cauterize as they go, there is less bleeding and often no need for stitches. Recovery is typically quicker, and many patients need less anesthesia.
