At Lucas Elite Dental Studio, we use a soft tissue laser to perform various procedures with exceptional precision, including the following:
Addressing Puffy Gums: Our soft tissue laser offers an excellent solution for managing puffy gums, also known as gingival hyperplasia, both before and during orthodontic treatment. It does so by reducing excess gum tissue, eliminating bacteria, and promoting faster healing, which helps improve your oral health and enhances your orthodontic experience.
Gingivectomy: Our soft tissue laser helps reshape or remove excess gum tissues, creating a more symmetrical smile. The minimally invasive procedure is often used to treat periodontal disease, improve the appearance of a “gummy smile,” or prepare teeth for dental restorations.
Frenectomy: A laser frenectomy offers a quick and comfortable solution to release lip or tongue ties, restoring a normal range of motion and improving feeding, speech, and oral development. The minimally invasive procedure is much more comfortable than traditional surgical frenectomies, with less bleeding, quicker recovery, and better overall outcomes.
Aphthous Ulcer Treatment: Aphthous ulcers, better known as canker sores, can cause significant pain and discomfort. Our soft tissue laser can heal recurrent canker sores in as little as one treatment, providing prompt and lasting relief.
Aesthetic Teeth Contouring: Also known as enameloplasty, aesthetic teeth contouring involves removing small amounts of tooth enamel, altering the shape, length, or surface of a tooth. The minimally invasive procedure is ideal for addressing minor tooth imperfections, such as chips, uneven edges, or misalignment.
Dental Cleanings: Our soft tissue laser eliminates harmful bacteria, enhancing the effectiveness of your dental cleanings. Laser dentistry helps reduce the risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral infections, promoting long-term oral health.
Periodontal Care: Our soft tissue laser targets and eliminates bacteria deep within gum pockets, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term gum health. Laser treatment helps enhance your periodontal care, safeguarding your oral health and preventing gum disease from progressing.
Gum Bleaching: Our soft tissue laser offers an excellent solution for improving the appearance of darkened gums, enhancing the appearance of your smile. Patients typically report a noticeable change in their gum color within two weeks, with permanent, beautifully natural results.
