Soft Tissue Treatments
The innovative LightWalker laser system can be used to perform numerous soft tissue treatments, including:
- Advanced gum disease treatments and deep cleanings like scaling and root planing
- Adjusting and reshaping the gum line to improve the appearance of “gummy” smiles
- Preparing teeth for restoration services like dental crowns by removing excess soft tissue to reveal additional supportive dental structure
- Removing excess skin that impedes the ability to speak, chew, and smile with procedures to undo lip and tongue tie
Hard Tissue Treatments
In addition to soft tissue treatment, the LightWalker laser system allows our team to more quickly and precisely perform several hard tissue treatments as well, including:
- Painlessly removing any decayed or damaged tooth enamel before restorative dentistry services begin
- Preparing teeth for dental restorations or cosmetic solutions, including fillings, dental crowns, and porcelain veneers
- Cosmetically reshaping tooth enamel to improve the overall appearance of the smile
How it Works
The LightWalker laser system uses waves of light that are harnessed to remove specific types of hard or soft tissues. The LightWalker laser is easily adjusted to remove any kind of tissue and address a wide array of oral health concerns. The laser light waves are focused in precisely on the specific hard or soft tissue, so that only damaged, decayed, or excessive tissues are removed. This high level of precision allows us to assess oral health concerns while preserving the greatest amount of healthy tooth enamel and soft tissue.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
There are many benefits to utilizing the LightWalker laser system to perform dentistry treatments, including the following:
- Patient comfort – precise and comfortable, laser dental treatments make it possible for patients to undergo complex treatments with minimal discomfort
- Healing time – following LightWalker laser treatment, most patients make a complete recovery in just a few days
- Stitch-free – soft tissue laser treatment negates the need for stitches, making these services faster and more comfortable
- Reduced Infection Risk – because of the reduced healing time, you are less likely to experience infection, especially important for gum disease sufferers
- Greater precision – this increased precision means as much healthy tissue as possible will be preserved
- Shorter treatment time – you’ll spend less time in our office – though we hate to see you go – and more time on all your other day-to-day tasks
