Lasers in Dentistry
Gum contouring: Diode lasers can reshape the gum line to improve the appearance of a "gummy" smile or to create a more symmetrical gum line.
Gum disease treatment: Diode lasers can be used to remove infected or inflamed gum tissue, promoting gum health and reducing bacterial growth.
Gum surgery: Diode lasers are utilized in various gum surgeries, such as gingivectomy (removal of gum tissue), removing tongue ties, implant exposure, or frenectomy (removal of connective tissue attachments), to improve oral function and aesthetics.
Biopsy: Diode lasers can be used to perform soft tissue biopsies, where a small piece of tissue is removed for examination under a microscope to diagnose oral lesions or abnormalities.
Aphthous ulcer or Canker Sore treatment: Diode lasers can help alleviate pain and promote faster healing of mouth ulcers, such as canker sores.
Crown lengthening: Diode lasers can be employed to remove excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth surface, facilitating restorative procedures like placing dental crowns.
