Experience the precision of laser dentistry at Dental Oasis of Clayton.
Our practice embraces dental technology and innovations at every turn to ensure our Clayton, North Carolina patients receive the best care. That’s why we use advanced laser technology for certain soft tissue procedures, allowing our dentists to precisely reshape and remove excess gum tissue when needed. Our soft tissue laser is most commonly used for gingivectomy, gum contouring, and certain cosmetic and restorative procedures
Laser dentistry harnesses the power of advanced laser technology to perform a wide range of dental procedures with increased precision and minimal invasiveness. For soft tissue procedures, a dental laser can help reshape or remove excess gum tissue while minimizing trauma to the surrounding areas.
At Dental Oasis of Clayton, our laser is used primarily for soft tissue treatment. It is not used to treat cavities or tooth decay.
Laser dentistry allows our dentists to perform treatments with extreme accuracy, resulting in less damage to surrounding tissues and a reduced need for sutures or anesthesia. Patients experience less pain, swelling, and discomfort during and after treatment. The use of laser technology promotes faster healing and tissue regeneration.
How Do We Use Our Dental Laser?
Our dentists may use the soft tissue laser for several procedures, including:
Gingivectomy: When excess gum tissue needs to be removed, a laser can help precisely reshape the gumline and create a healthier or more balanced appearance.
Gum Contouring for Crowns: When preparing a tooth for a crown, there are times when excess gum tissue can interfere with the restoration. Laser gum contouring allows our dentists to carefully reshape the gumline to create the space and access needed for a properly fitting crown.
Cosmetic Gum Contouring: Sometimes the gumline is uneven or excess gum tissue covers too much of a tooth, making the teeth appear shorter. Laser gum contouring can help create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Benefits of Soft Tissue Laser Treatment
When laser treatment is appropriate, it can provide several advantages, including:
- Precise removal and reshaping of soft tissue
- Less trauma to surrounding tissue
- Reduced bleeding during treatment
- Minimal swelling for some procedures
- A comfortable treatment experience
- Convenient treatment with minimal disruption to your day
Your dentist will evaluate your individual needs and determine whether laser treatment is the right option for you.
