Introducing Our Soft Tissue Diode Laser
The Biolase Epic X is a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge dental laser. This next-generation device delivers focused light energy that effectively targets specific tissues while leaving the surrounding areas unharmed. Laser dentistry allows for intricate, soft-tissue surgical procedures with minimal or no pain or discomfort, less bleeding, faster healing, and a lower risk of infection or complications than traditional surgical methods.
What Are Soft Tissue Lasers Used for In Dentistry?
We use our soft tissue laser to enhance the outcomes of various procedures, including the following:
- Periodontal (Gum Disease) Treatment: Dental lasers use powerful, focused light to destroy harmful oral bacteria, decontaminating the deep gingival pockets. This helps promote gum tissue healing, offering an invaluable tool in the fight against periodontal disease.
- Gingivectomy: This minimally invasive procedure involves the reshaping of gum tissues or removing excess tissues, delivering a more symmetrical smile. It can be used to improve the appearance of a “gummy smile,” treat periodontal disease, and prepare teeth for restorations.
- Operculectomy (Gum Recontouring): A laser operculectomy involves removing the flap of gum tissue called the operculum that partly covers a tooth, most commonly a lower molar. This flap can trap food and bacteria, leading to infection, pain, and tooth decay. This minimally invasive procedure comes with less bleeding and discomfort, faster healing, and a smoother recovery than a traditional surgical operculectomy.
- Biopsies: A laser biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses focused laser energy to remove small tissue samples to evaluate suspicious growths. Laser biopsies minimize bleeding and discomfort and allow for a more precise cut, ensuring a much easier and smoother recovery than using a traditional scalpel.
- Aphthous Ulcer Treatment: Aphthous ulcers, also known as canker sores, can cause pain and discomfort. Our soft tissue laser can heal recurrent aphthous ulcers in as little as one treatment. Laser therapy can even help prevent future canker sores, providing long-term relief.
